How to recover deleted items from Sharepoint Site?

Recover deleted files in SharePoint

When you delete a document from an app in SharePoint, it isn’t gone forever. The document just moves to the “Recycle Bin” — much like it does with Office 365 Exchange.

To restore a document from the “Recycle Bin” to its original location, follow these steps:

1. Click the Settings gear icon > choose Site Contents.
2. Click the Recycle Bin button in the upper-right corner.
3. Selected the deleted document > click the Restore Selection This will restore the file to the app.

SharePoint stores documents in databases. A site collection administrator can connect to a backed-up copy of the database and select individual documents to restore in the second stage “Recycle Bin”. This bin is located in the “Site Collection Administration” section of the “Site Settings” page of your SharePoint site.

If you’re the site collection administrator, you can follow these steps to access the second stage “Recycle Bin”:

1. Log in to the SharePoint site as the site collection administrator.
2. Click the Settings gear icon > choose Site Settings.
3. In the Site Collection Administration section, click the Recycle Bin
4. Click the Deleted From End-User Recycle Bin link in the left navigation panel.
5. Select the items you want to restore > click Restore Selection.

That’s it!
