Restore deleted files and folders

When you delete a file or folder on OneDrive with one device, you won't be able to find it on your other devices. All deleted files go into the Recycle bin, where you have a chance to restore it.

  1. Select Recycle bin
  2. Select files or folders you want to restore


Restore OneDrive to a previous date

You may never need to restore your OneDrive, but if lots of your files get deleted, overwritten, or infected by malware, you can restore your entire OneDrive to a previous time.

  1. Go to the OneDrive website.
  2. At the top of the page, select Settings > Restore your OneDrive from the left navigation.
  3. On the Restore page, select a date from the dropdown list or select Custom date and time. 
  4. Use the activity chart and activity feed to review the recent activities that you want to undo.
