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!

It shouldn't be so hard to find deleted files. It took me ages to find a file I deleted the same day!
- Make deleted files searchable, not just being able to filter to date and location, but file name or even contents.
- Don't put deleted files together in groups or "deletion events". How am I supposed to remember or know that a file was deleted (often accidentally) with another group. Must I search through every deletion group. Doesn't make much sense.
The user experience of finding deleted files is very difficult and time consuming. Not so user-friendly.
