How do I revert a move I made in Data Parking?

\n

Short answer: Open Data Parking's Moves log and click Revert on the move. It works when nothing has been recreated at the original spot and the same drive is connected; otherwise Storage Studio tells you what's in the way instead of overwriting.

\n

Open the Moves log in Data Parking's middle column and click Revert on the finished move. It moves the data back to where it came from.

\n

Revert works as long as:

\n
  • Nothing has been recreated at the original spot. If something now exists there, Storage Studio says so — "Something already exists at the original source path" — and asks you to move or delete it first, so nothing is overwritten.
  • The drive is present — and it's the same drive the move went to. Storage Studio refuses to revert across a different drive.
\n

You can also simply move the items back yourself with the arrow pointing the other way. See Can I undo a folder move?
