Skip to main content

If the file was recently deleted, check the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (macOS) to see if it’s there.

Check the service’s trash or recovery options if you’re using a cloud storage service.

For files that are not recoverable through these means, you may need to use file recovery software, but it’s not guaranteed to work, especially if the data has been overwritten.

If in doubt, contact us.
