"Hi, I'm Noah, and I'm going to show you how to recover deleted files. If you've deleted an important file by accident, don't panic right away because if you haven't yet emptied your Recycle Bin, it's still very easy to get them back. Let's say you're going through all your old documents, deleting things you don't need anymore, and you accidentally delete that one very important file. This can happen very easily when you're selecting multiple objects. Luckily, there's a very easy way to get your important file back, though. Instead of emptying your Recycle Bin once you're done cleaning through your files, simply open it by double-clicking on it, and then find your important file and then right-click on it and select restore. This will put the file back in its original place exactly the way it was. Once you've restored your original file, however, you can delete the old, useless ones by then emptying the Recycle Bin. Now, as sure enough, as we go back, we can see that our important file is right back where it was and ready to be used again."
