Now, you should select a path to start scanning. However, Mac doesn't allow users to locate to a specific folder except Desktop, Trash and Document. So, it may take some time to finish scanning. Also, if no desired data are found, you can switch from "Quick Scan" to "Deep Scan".

Note: How to Back up Photos on Mac via Time Machine?
There is no doubt that data loss will cause a headache for users. Whether you have or haven't encountered such a trouble, it's strongly recommended to back up your Mac with Time Machine, a default feature of your Mac.
To use Time Machine, you must have an external hard disk or purchase external storage solutions. When you connect the external hard drive directly to the Mac for the first time, a pop-up will ask you whether you want to use this hard disk to back up with Time Machine as the following image shows. (Also, you can encrypt the backup disk.) Now, please click "Use as Backup Disk".
Note that it automatically makes hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for all previous months. The oldest backups are deleted when your backup disk is full. The first backup may take a long time. However, if you want to manually back up your Mac, please follow the steps.
Step 1. Go to "Apple Menu" and choose "System Preferences".
Step 2. Click "Time Machine" and select a disk as the Backup Disk.
Step 3. Choose "Back Up Now" from the Time Machine menu.
So, in order to avoid data loss, you should really attach importance to Time Machine. Once backed up, you will never be afraid of any accidental system corruption or system bugs.
