Restore a deleted folder tree

Restore a deleted folder tree. Follow a controlled workflow, verify the result, and avoid changing the wrong workspace or item.

Last reviewed

Restore a deleted folder tree is safest when you verify the account, workspace and target before committing the action. This guide uses a small controlled example so you can confirm each state.

Before you start

  • Open Deleted items in the current released Dosya client.
  • Confirm the active account and workspace, then identify a recently deleted test folder.
  • Use non-confidential test data and record the current state before changing it.
  • Keep passwords, API keys, recovery keys and private links out of screenshots and support messages.

Steps: restore a deleted folder tree

  1. Open Deleted items and confirm the active workspace.
  2. Select a recently deleted test folder and check its name or identifying details.
  3. Choose Restore and return to the original parent.
  4. Read the confirmation, warning or progress state before leaving the screen.
  5. Verify that the folder structure and child files are restored.
  6. Refresh or reopen the view once to confirm the result persisted.

Review names and deletion details in Deleted items before restoring or cleaning up. Open full-size screenshot.

Expected result

The workflow completes for the controlled test and the folder structure and child files are restored. The result remains visible after a refresh or reconnect.

Limits and important details

  • Available controls depend on the current client version, plan, role and workspace policy.
  • Actions may be blocked by folder locks, hidden-item rules, storage limits or a restricted credential.
  • For destructive or access-changing actions, test with disposable data before applying the workflow to important files.

Troubleshooting

The expected control is missing. Return to Deleted items, confirm the active workspace and check that your role permits the action.

The operation is rejected. Read the exact message and check access, locks, quota, network state and client version before retrying.

The result is unclear. Repeat with one small test item, then contact support with the time, client version and a nonsecret error message.
