Searching within deleted files
How do I search by file name in deleted files? When I use the search bar it searches not-deleted files, and as far as I can tell all I can do is sort deleted files by date range. I have no clue what ...
- 6 years agoHi there, depending on your plan you could have recovery periods from 30 days to 120 days, and potentially longer if you purchased Extended Version History before the new plans came out.If you use the search bar, the deleted files will appear at the bottom of the list in grey, so you can check those grey files for the one you’re looking for.Hope this info helps!

Hello,
searching in deleted files worked until July 2021. Now as of 19 July 2021, the search bar no longer shows deleted files. Is it a bug or am I just not aware of the new way how it's done now?
Thanks a lot, I use searching in deleted files very frequently, so it is important to me.
Cheers, Peter

I have been using the search feature to look at deleted files regularly and all of the sudden it doesn't work anymore. VERY FRUSTURATING. Occasionally I need to go back and look at a deleted file and see what folder it was in when and I use to be able to do that easily. Not any more - why the change? Please change it back!
