    Unable to restore a file located in my OneDrive recycle bin


    The file is a Notebook created using the OneNote App. I inadvertently deleted if from a folder in the desktop OneDrive. The file is visible in the OneDrive online recycle bin. However, attempts to restore fail with the error “you already have a file or folder with that name”. My guess is that this was created when I first opened the OneNote App after deleting the existing notebook. An option to replace the existing file also fails with the error “this item might have been deleted, expired, or you might not have permission to access it. Contact the owner of this item for more information”. I am the owner.

    I suppose I could try to rename the newly created empty notebook but I don’t see how to do that.

    SOLVED:*Biggrin I figured out how to change the name of the newly created Notebook; once I did that, I was able to restore the real one from the OneDrive recycle bin. Whew!!

    :)

  2. INFORMATION WIPE OUT AFTER AN UPGRADE

    Hi,

    Thank you for the response and keeping the status updated.

    When you delete a file from your computer, it's actually just moved to the Recycle Bin, where it's temporarily stored until the Recycle Bin is emptied. This gives you an opportunity to recover accidentally deleted files and restore them to their original
    locations.

    To recover files from the Recycle Bin


    • Open the Recycle Bin by double-clicking the Recycle Bin on the desktop.

    • Do one of the following:

      • To restore a file, click it, and then, on the toolbar, click Restore this item.

      • To restore all of the files, make sure that no files are selected, and then, on the toolbar, click
        Restore all items.
      The files will be restored to their original locations on your computer.

    Hope this information is helpful.

    Thank you.

    Im not sure what happened to your corrupted photo files, but if you had backed them up on OneDrive, check the Recycle bin and see if they are there. Sign in to onedrive.live.com and Recycle Bin is located in the bottom left corner.
