We’ll take you through your options for when files in the cloud get deleted in error, and how you can bring them back. To restore multiple files, use the Shift key or the Ctrl/Cmd (Windows/macOS) key to select all the files you want to bring back, then right-click on them. The files will be returned to the same folders in your Google Drive that they were deleted from. Screenshot: AppleFollow the Restore Files link, and you can bring back some or all of your recently deleted files: Either select them individually, or use the Select All link to select everything on screen. Tap Browse, then Recently Deleted: You can either press and hold on individual files to find the Recover and Delete Now options, or tap the three dots (top right) then choose Select to pick out multiple files at once.
