Can you recover delayed files after emptying the Trash? Sure you can. You can first undo emptying the Trash to get your lost files back. You can also try restoring your files from Time Machine backup like this:
Step 1. Navigate to Time Machine by directly clicking its icon or go to "Go > Utilities > Time Machine".
Step 2. Launch Finder and click its icon to open Time Machine. Then, click on the time icon from the top menu and choose "Browse Time Machine Backups".
Step 3. Now, all backups available for repair are presented in the Time Machine window. You can choose the backup point you want and specify the files you want to retrieve. Click "Restore" to get your files back.
