    Hey Rakshhit_Sharma - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!

     

    I'm afraid you won't be able to export or download files from the deleted files page without restoring them first. 

     

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Is there any kind of external method or something else I can do, cause the deleted files are of huge number and big size. 

    restoring and then deleting them again will result in duplicates to manage.
