Recover files/folders

When you delete a file or a folder in CERNBox, it is not permanently deleted at that very moment. Instead, it is moved into the trash bin where it is kept for a maximum of six months.

You can find your deleted files by clicking on Deleted files in the lower-left corner of your CERNBox Files page.

Click on the button next to the file you want to restore and click on the button from the small menu which appears. See here for further details.
