Question: How can I restore a file I deleted from a SharePoint site?

Answer:
1. Open the SharePoint site where the file was stored.
2. Open Recycle bin from the site navigation.
3. Select the file and select Restore. It returns to its original location.
4. If the file is not listed or you cannot access the recycle bin, ask the service desk to investigate.

Scope and escalation: Covers available first-stage recycle-bin items only. Do not promise recovery after permanent deletion or grant access to restricted files.
