Hi,
Is it possible to recover a deleted APFS encrypted volume?
I deleted the wrong one.

I'm on an Intel IMac running Sequia.
Testdisk 7.2

The volume was on an external HDD.
I read the documentation as well as did a search on the Forum.

I tried DiskDrill too.
My understanding is it's not easy/possible with the tools available to me.

Thanks,
Alan

I don't own a Mac, I have no experience with those apples. ;)

TestDisk only supports APM (apple partition map). When TestDisk asks you to select the type of partition table, the apple choice is marked as "legacy".
It seems that TestDisk does not support the newer APFS.
