These instructions are for when a file is deleted in OneDrive; if you delete the file on your own computer you will need to look in that computer's "Trash" or "Recycling Bin" to restore it. As always, be careful when you delete things!

When you delete a file or folder, it goes into the Recycle bin, where you have a chance to restore it.

When in OneDrive Online:

Delete files

Select the file or files you want to delete.
Select Delete. The files move to the Recycle bin.

Restore files

Select the Recycle bin.
- If you want all of your files back, select Restore all items
- Or, select only the files you want and click Restore
