I deleted an account from my Mac and later realized that I needed some files from that user’s home directory. Is there a way to get them back?
Provided you’re using at least OS X 10.2 and you did not use the “Delete Immedietly” function, then you may be able to recover their home directory. Apple Support has published “Mac OS X: How to recover a home folder (directory)“, which will walk you through this recovery proces step-by-step.
