Recover a deleted or older OneDrive file

Try these steps before recreating a missing or overwritten file:

1. Open OneDrive in a browser or the app and search for the file name.
2. Check the Recycle bin. Select the file and choose Restore.
3. If the file exists but its contents changed, open its menu and choose Version history, then inspect or restore the needed version.
4. If the file is not present, contact IT promptly with the file name, original folder, owner, and approximate date it disappeared.

Do not create replacement files with the same name until recovery has been checked; that can make the correct version harder to identify.
