Check the shared drive recycle bin

Restore from a backup
- Right-click on the folder that contained the file you need to recover and select Restore Previous Versions

- Browse the available versions. When you find one you want to restore, click on it to select it and then click Open
- Drag and drop this file to a different location e.g. your Desktop
- Open the file or folder you copied and check it is the correct version
- If you are sure you have the correct version, you can copy it back to your shared filestore
- Warning: Once you replace the current version with a backup, the replacement can't be undone. If you aren't sure, change the name to something else before copying it back to your filestore
