I deleted my "Recent" folder on my Mac, and then emptied the trash.

I made the mistake of deleting my "recent" folder on my Mac. Then I emptied the trash. I lost all of the files I had used in the last 3 months or so. The local Mac store can't find them. I am still within my 30 days, but I can't figure out what to do. (If I deleted that that, you know I am not a sophisticated user. If it is possible to get them back, I will need step by step instructions.

Hey @Alexander B.13, sorry to hear about that!

Let's see what we can find about this together.

There are a couple of pages I'm going to need you to check, and see if you can find and possibly recover your content there.

The first one would be your deleted files page. Feel free to have a closer look, and inspect if there are any files that you should restore.

Another page would be your events page. It will give you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes), as well as adding or removing shared folders.

If you see a deletion event that you want to reinstate, you can click on it. Provided the content is recoverable, you should see a blue hyperlink on the top, right part of the page that'd allow you to recover your files.

And lastly, in case you deleted any shared folders please take a look at your shared tab online.

I'd love to know what you find there. Thanks!
