PhotoRec has saved me many times. But I have noticed that the results aren’t nearly as good for Mac file formats or video, especially professional video formats. A lot of videos I’ve tried to recover have failed. I wish that there was an app like this for those formats, but I understand that may be more of a niche market for them.

You can try "foremost", it isnt as easy to use but a bit more configurable - at least from memory (I have used it many years ago)

Deleted files becomes reclaimable space. Delayed recovery makes those files unrecoverable.
