Can I put back everything a clear-up removed in one go?

\n

Short answer: Yes. A whole clear-up is one entry in the Recycle Vault, so Undo last removal (or Restore on that entry) puts every folder back in one action.

\n

Yes. A whole clear-up counts as one entry in the Recycle Vault, however many folders it removed, so putting it back is a single action rather than one per folder.

\n
  1. Open the Recycle Vault (the Open Recycle Vault button on the results, or More ••• → Recycle Vault).
  2. Choose Undo last removal — or select that entry and press Restore.
