How do I restore files I accidentally deleted?

Category: Web hosting

If you deleted files by mistake, you can recover them from automatic backups.

Steps

  1. Go to your cPanel and open the R1Soft Restore Backups icon.
  2. Select the backup with the most recent date (before deletion).
  3. Check the folder or files you want to restore.
  4. Click the Restore button.

Done: your files will be returned to their original location.

Recommendations before restoring

  • Try to restore a specific folder first, not the entire site.
  • Check the backup date/time to avoid overwriting recent work.
  • If you have questions, ask for support to avoid additional data loss.

Prevention

Enable periodic backups and keep a local/versioned copy. This reduces recovery times when an accidental deletion occurs.
