A deleted file waits in Deleted until you restore it or clear it for good. Restoring puts it back in the same folder under the same name, and a folder brings its contents back with it.

  1. 1 Right-click a file and choose Delete.
  2. 2 Open Deleted in the sidebar to find it.
  3. 3 Right-click and choose Restore to put it back in its original folder.
  4. 4 Restore a folder to bring everything inside it back too.
  5. 5 Choose Delete permanently when you are sure; that frees the storage straight away.
