I accidentally deleted some files. Can I get them back?
As soon as the panic and hyperventilating is over, there are some things you can do. Sometimes people think that once a file goes into the Recycle Bin it’s gone forever. That’s an easy fix. Simply open the Trash and drag the file back out.
If you can't find a file on your computer or you accidentally modified or deleted a file, you can restore it from a backup (if you're using Windows backup) or you can try to restore it from a previous version. Previous versions are copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point.
