Restoring deleted files or folders

This feature is only available in Standard Data Rooms. It requires data room administrator rights.
Deletions become permanent only after the data room has been deleted and the recovery period has expired. Until then, administrators can restore deleted files and folders directly from the data room.

  2. Tick the Show deleted files and folders checkbox.

Files are restored immediately. Folders and their contents are restored in the background — a progress dialog is shown while the operation completes. If a name conflict exists with an active file or folder, the restored item is renamed with a “(restored)” suffix.

Finding deleted items

You can also find a list of deleted files on the Statistics page of the Administration Interface.
