Restore a Deleted File from SharePoint
If you’ve accidentally deleted a file from a SharePoint site (like a team site, shared document library, or intranet site), you can usually get it back yourself!
- Go to the SharePoint site where the file was deleted (via your browser or from the link where the file was originally shared)
- On the left-hand side, click Recycle Bin. If you don't see this, click the Settings gear in the top-right corner, then choose Site content—the Recycle Bin will appear in the menu
- Look for your deleted file
- Select the file(s), then click Restore at the top of the page
✅Your file will go back to its original folder in SharePoint.
If it's been more than 30 days, or you can't find the file in the Recycle Bin, contact the Digital Experience team—to help recover it from backup.
