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
