Recover files deleted from Drive

Recover a permanently deleted file in Google Drive

Google Workspace

Your Google Workspace admin can restore permanently deleted files and folders - but only for a limited time. Contact your admin if you want to recover a file permanently deleted in the last 25 days - after that, files and folders are cleared from the Google system and can no longer be recovered.


Consumer Account 

If you're using a personal account, not managed by your company or school, contact Google for help. You must be the owner of the file or folder you are looking to recover.
