If you have an item you no longer need in OneDrive for Business, delete it. Deleted files can be restored if you change your mind later.
A dialog box appears asking you if youβre sure you want to delete the item.
It may take a few seconds, but the file is transferred to the Recycle bin.
If you have deleted an item and later realize that deleting that item was a mistake, you can retrieve it from the Recycle bin.
The file is restored to the Documents library.
