HOW TO RESTORE FILES AND FOLDERS ON MAC:

In macOS, the OneDrive

folder acts as a local folder

that is being regularly

uploaded to the cloud.

If you accidentally delete a

file or folder in OneDrive,

you may be able to restore

it from the Trash.

Open the Trash by clicking

its icon in the dock.

Select the file or files you

want to restore.

Right-click (or two-finger

click) on a selected file and

choose Put Back to

recover the file to its

original location.

Note: If you

accidentally delete a file or

folder in OneDrive, and in

the recycle bin, you may

be able to recover it later

from the OneDrive recycle

bin online, as well.

your CU login credentials.

In the navigation pane,

select Recycle bin.

Select the files or folders

you want to restore by

If you're signed into

OneDrive with a Microsoft

account, items in the

recycle bin are

automatically deleted 30

days after they're put

there.

If you're signed in with a

work or school account,

items in the recycle bin

are automatically deleted

after 93 days, unless the

administrator has changed

the setting.
