Removing Files
Step 4
❱ If you permanently delete a file or folder that you realise you
need access to, Google is able to help you recover it for a limited
time. However, after the file has been deleted from Google’s
systems, it’s gone forever. You can request recovery from Google
themselves at http://www.support.google.com.

❱ Open the Google Drive folder on the desktop of your computer,
select the file or folder you want to remove and drag it to the trash
on your computer. A file you remove from the Drive folder on your
computer will be moved to the trash in Drive on the web and in
the Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides.
