Apps · Drive, safety and recovery
What if I accidentally delete the shortcut to a moved app?
Short answer: The app is still safe on your fast drive. Put the shortcut back from the Trash, or use Move back on the Moved tab to return the app to your Mac.
The app looks missing from your Applications folder, but it's still safe on your fast drive. The quickest fix is to open the Trash, select the shortcut and choose Put Back — everything works again immediately.
If the Trash has been emptied, use Move back on the Moved tab to return the app to your Mac, then move it again if you like.
