How to recover your deleted files

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Sinking feelings don't come much worse than when you think you delete something you really need. Many of us now have files synced to the cloud from our phones and laptops, but sometimes data can disappear from there too--maybe through a click of the wrong button or a swipe across the wrong menu option. If this happens to you, don't lose hope-most cloud storage services come with a deleted file restore function that's similar to the Recycle Bin on Windows and the Trash folder on macOS. It means that any files that you delete, deliberately or not, can be recovered without too much fuss.
