How can I see all the files that I deleted?
I recently deleted many files with the knowledge that my files could still be restored if I needed them. However, when I looked at "Deleted files" what I saw to my surprise were lines that read, e.g.,
[name of file] and 3283 more files
(and there were many such lines!)
What happened to the folders and structure within the folders? Do I really have to restore all of these files to find the one I want? (And it's not a question about searching for a specific file name; it's about restoring entire folders!)
Thanks for your help on this.
Thats how it works if you delete in bulk I'm afraid.
A work around to this would be to go to the location where the files were initially, click on 'Show Deleted Items' and then restore the folders individually
