Privacy & safety · Undo and recovery
Will restoring from the Recycle Vault overwrite a file with the same name?
Short answer: No. Restore puts items back where they came from and places a restored copy alongside any file with the same name. Restore to… picks another folder, and Undo last removal brings back the latest removal in one step.
No. Restore puts items back where they came from, and if something with the same name is already there, the restored copy lands alongside it — nothing is ever overwritten. Restore to… lets you pick a different folder instead.
Undo last removal brings back everything from the most recent removal in one step; a whole clear-up counts as one entry. Restoring items held on your external drive needs the drive connected.
