Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file

Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file is easier than recovering a deleted file because the file itself

can be right-clicked instead of the folder. To recover an overwritten or corrupted file:

1.

Right-click the overwritten or corrupted file, and then click Properties.

2.

Click Previous Versions.

3.

To view the old version, click View. To copy the old version to another location, click Copy... to

replace the current version with the older version, click Restore.

Recovering a folder

To recover a folder:

1.

Position the cursor so that it is over a blank space in the folder to be recovered. If the cursor hovers

over a file, that file is selected.

2.

Right-click, select Properties from the bottom of the menu, and then click the Previous Versions tab.

3.

Click either Copy... or Restore.
Clicking Restore enables the user to recover everything in that folder as well as all subfolders.

Clicking Restore does not delete any files.
