- Go to 'Preferences.' Right-click on the Copy icon, the one with the origami crane picture, to bring out the menu; then select 'Preferences'. Your Copy account details and settings can be seen here.
- Go to 'Manage My Files.' Under the Account tab, click on the 'Manage My Files' button. Another dialog window will open.
- The 'Manage My Files' section is where you can do selective syncing of your local files with your Copy account. This is also where you can recover deleted files and folders from your Copy account.
- Go to 'Undelete' tab. On the 'Manage My Files' window, there are two tabs. Click on the 'Undelete' tab.
- This tab contains the files and folders that were removed from your Copy account. It is the only place where you can undelete them.

- Undelete. Once you're done with your selection, click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the dialog window. The files will immediately be recovered and will be made available from your Copy account, wherever it's accessed from.
- It will automatically be synced and downloaded to your local Copy folder.

Recovering Files from the Recycle Bin
- Go to Recycle Bin. All Windows computers have Recycle Bins. It's usually located right on your desktop. Double-click on it to open.
- This method will only work if the files were deleted from the same computer, and not anywhere else.
- Select files to restore. Select all the files you'd like to restore by clicking on them. Use the normal Windows operations for multiple selections. The files you've selected will be highlighted.
- Restore files. From the header menu, click on the 'Restore the selected items' button. The files you've just selected will be restored to their previous locations.
- You can also use 'cut and paste' to move the files from the Recycle Bin to your Copy local folder.
