I spilled Trash, having deleted a project folder on an external Seagate Backup Plus (2TB) during work in a MacBook Pro (macOS Ventura). Time Machine backup was off. I have not added any new data to the drive. I attempted to use Testdisk, however, I became disoriented with option of partitions. I would not like to spend a lot on recovery services unless there is a need. What are some of the free/low cost tools and procedure to use on the macOS in order to attempt recovery? Also, when I connect the drive to a windows PC, will it be superior to windows based recovery tools? Any measures to prevent additional loss of data?
