- Find your spreadsheet, right-click it, and choose "Restore".
- Alternatively, if you have the file open and made a mistake, go to File > Version history > See version history to restore an older version.
- Microsoft Excel File on Your Computer:
- Immediately check your computer's Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac). If the file is there, right-click it and select "Restore" or "Put Back".
- If you saved it on OneDrive or Dropbox, check the online recycle bin on their websites. They often keep deleted files for 30 days or more.
- If you just accidentally deleted the content inside an open file, press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Cmd+Z (Mac) repeatedly to undo your last actions.
