If you have ever lost or deleted a Google Doc, there are a few things you can do to help get it back.
- Try to find the document on Google Drive. If it is not there, try looking in the Google search results for “Google Docs.” If that does not work, try using a search engine like Google or Bing.
- If you cannot find the document on Google Drive, try creating a new one and uploading it to your account.
- If you still cannot find the document, contact Google and ask for help finding it.
Go to Trash in My Drive. Select Delete Forever from the context menu that appears when you right-click on the file. Choose the option of Restoring the file if you wish to recover it.
You may revert to an earlier version of your paper if you have one. Simply restore the previous version by selecting it in the sidebar and then at the top of the document clicking Restore this version. After that, click Restore to confirm.
You should be able to recover deleted Word files from the Recycle Bin on a Microsoft Windows computer if they haven’t been permanently erased. To right-click or control-click a file within the list of removed items, click the “Trash Can” button on the system dock.
This might help you avoid the mistake of accidentally deleting files. Many people are unaware of the significance of this basic command “Ctrl+Z,” which can restore any previously deleted items instantly. You may get back the data from a file or folder that you accidentally deleted on the computer’s hard disk drive by pressing “Ctrl+Z.”
Begin by locating and opening the folder where the deleted files were stored. Then right-click and select “History,” then “Previous.” Choose a file. Left-click on “Restore” to activate it. The data should have been restored by now, assuming no errors occurred.
