I have accidentally deleted a folder /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Postgres/
through the use of a third party uninstall app (CleanMyMac). Is this folder gone forever or can I recover it? I haven't restarted the system. The folder contains the postgres db and I don't run time machine, I have a backup of the db but it's old so would like to recover if i can

Is it still in your Trash? – nohillside♦ Feb 4 at 8:06

It never was, i assume system library files deleted via an uninstall get put elsewhere – mapping dom Feb 4 at 8:14

Maybe CleanMyMac removes them directly then. Changes for recovery are rather small then, especially if you kept using your computer afterwards. – nohillside♦ Feb 4 at 8:17

1Or use time machine to get an hourly backup – mmmmmm Feb 4 at 10:54
The answer from CleanMyMac is that it permanently destroys this, I tested two file recovery software options and neither found the old library fodlers
