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

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.

Revert works as long as:

- **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.

You can also simply move the items back yourself with the arrow pointing the other way. See [Can I undo a folder move?](https://storagestudio.us/faq/moving-folders/can-i-undo-a-folder-move)
