Using Google Apps


Deleting files from Drive is a very quick process but a file you remove
might not always be gone forever. You have the chance to restore deleted
files before they are deleted permanently. Here is how you restore, remove
and permanently delete files in Google Drive.

Restoring Incorrectly


Deleted Documents


Step 1
❱ If you decide that you don’t want to delete a file or folder
that you’ve moved to the trash, you can restore it so that you
can access it again. Once you restore a file, it will be recovered
wherever you use Drive or Docs, Sheets and Slides.


Step 3
❱ Sign in to Drive at http://www.drive.google.com. Go to the Bin section
on the left side of your screen and right-click the file or folder you
want to restore. Click Restore to return it to its previous location.
To restore a file from the trash that you don’t own, you need to
contact the owner of the file.

Step 2
❱ At the moment, you can’t restore a file or folder from the Drive
mobile apps or from the Docs, Sheets or Slides home screens. You
can restore your files from Drive on the web or on your computer.
Let’s look at those options here.
