    Accidentally clicked "Free up space"


    So, you know how when you right click the desktop there's a thing that says "free up space"? I decided to click it. When I clicked it, it basically went through a bunch of files and did something to them. I discovered that it made it so that all of them only accessible when I have an internet connection. How do I undo this?
