hey no i don't have the wallet dat. i wiped that portion of i removed bitcoin from the application support section. i am seeing all this stuff now and wished i hadn't, i don't have the private key info.
And you emptied that trash? If so, can you try a file recovery tool? E.g. DiskWarrior? If you wish to try to scan the drive, you would want to stop using the computer now so as to avoid writing more information to the disk (hdd or ssd) so as to avoid potentially writing over that file.
That is the main option right now.
I am curious what "scan" you sent him? Was it a QR code of the public key? If so, that won't do any good.
