How can I recover some files I deleted?

I accidentally deleted a group of files from my office computer and later realized they were also gone from my home computer. Can you advise me on how to recover these deleted files?

Hey @Babonbd, thanks for posting your question today.

 

If you've just deleted some files and you'd like to restore them, you can do so from your deleted files page here.

 

Here's an article with a visual of the process as well.

 

I hope this helps and if you have any questions, let me know.
