Press Command+Space and type “Terminal” to bring it up. You can enable hidden files in Finder by running the following commands in Terminal.
If you’re using macOS Sierra or later, you can view hidden files in Finder by simply using the SHIFT+CMD+. One of these hidden folders is “.Trashes” and it contains the trash for that drive. Whenever you use an external drive, your Mac creates a bunch of hidden folders starting with a period to help the drive work better with macOS. They’re hidden by default, though, so you have to do a little digging. If your file was stored on a USB flash drive or external hard drive, those have their own Trash you can check for deleted files. And if you haven’t emptied it in a while, doing so might get you back quite a bit of disk space. It should give you a list of files that you’ve deleted recently-at least, since the last time you emptied it. Right-click it and click the “Open” command. The Trash is usually located at the end of your dock.
