Hey everyone! I accidentally saved more than 200 files from the recycle bin. The issue is I don’t recall which ones were saved, and they’ve been there for a while. Just knowing where they were stored isn’t enough. Can anyone suggest a way to identify them and remove them again? Thanks!

I've already attempted it, but it didn't work.

It seems you might have made an error and restored files or rebooted your system. The safest option would have been to use the undo function immediately after the mistake. There are tools available that watch for changes in folders or drives, but they need significant processing power, which isn’t typical on home computers. Unfortunately, such fixes usually don’t work once the damage is done. If you know the file type, you can search for it directly in the root directory using the built-in search feature and remove the files from there. Just be cautious with this method, and if you make another mistake, simply undo.
