How to use Undelete


Back  Back to main page

Open the Trash.

Right-click on an item (or select more than one item and right-click on them), and select Undelete from the Add-Ons menu.

Undelete will restore the item or items to the folder they were removed from.  If an item already exists, Undelete will ask you if you want to overwrite it.  If the folder the item was originally in has been deleted, Undelete will create the full folder hierarchy that existed when the item was deleted.  If you undelete a folder, Undelete will restore the entire folder.

You can open a folder within the Trash, and selectively undelete items contained in the folder.   The "Original Name", "When Deleted" and "Deleted From" columns are not visible in sub-folders of folders in the Trash, but Undelete still knows exactly where to restore the items to.

Undelete only works for items contained on a BFS file-system, for example it does not work for the Windows Recycle Bin.
