Recover a deleted item

After you delete an item from your Deleted Items folder it is permanently deleted. However, if you change your mind about deleting an item, Recover Deleted Items will allow you to restore that item.

Important  After an item is deleted it can only be recovered for a limited time. The amount of time you have to recover an item is configured on the computer running Microsoft Exchange Server. For more information, contact a server administrator in your organization.

  1. In the Navigation Pane, click Options.
  2. In Options, under Recover Deleted Items, click View Items.
  3. In the Recover Deleted Items window, select the check box next to the item you want to recover.

    Note  If the item you want to recover isn't there, it's likely that the recovery time has expired for that item. Contact a server administrator.

  4. Click Recover to return the selected item to your Deleted Items folder, or click Permanently Delete to permanently remove the item.
