Google Drive is a leader in consumer cloud storage services thanks to its attractive pricing and storage offerings at every level. If you’re a Google Drive user, you’re probably familiar with the convenience of backing up and accessing your files on the go, especially if you’re a Google One subscriber. But what if you accidentally delete files? Is there a way to recover them? Let’s find out!
How to Recover Permanently Deleted Files and Folders in Google Drive
Yes, you can recover most deleted files from Google Drive, but it depends on how and when you deleted the file. If you used the standard deletion option, it is likely that your file was moved to the trash and can still be recovered. Keep in mind that files are stored in the Google Drive trash for a maximum of 30 days.
However, if you are someone who was aware of the trash and deleted your file there as well, then your best bet is to contact the Google Support team as soon as possible. Use one of the sections below to help you with the process.
