Doc Summary
If you have accidentally deleted files from your server, they cannot be recovered directly through the File Manager or Console.
File deletion is permanent and cannot be undone from within the Control Panel.
How to Recover Deleted Files #
The only way to restore deleted files is by using a backup that was created before the deletion occurred.
- Open your server in the Control Panel.
- Go to the Backups tab.
- Locate a backup from before the files were deleted.
- Use the Restore option to recover your data.
- It is recommended to select “Delete all files before restoring” for a clean recovery.
- For detailed steps, see: Restoring from Backup
Summary #
Once files are deleted, the only recovery method is to restore a previous backup.
Regular automatic backups are therefore essential to prevent permanent data loss.
