Privacy & safety · Undo and recovery

How do I undo a move I just made with Storage Studio?

Short answer: Click Move back on the folder in the Storage Inspector's Relocated panel, or use More → Restore Points → Roll Back Last Batch for the latest batch. Neither overwrites anything you've saved since; the drive must be connected.

Two ways:

  • One folder: open the Storage Inspector, find it in the Relocated panel and click Move back. It's copied back to your built-in drive and the shortcut is removed.
  • The latest batch: open More → Restore Points and choose Roll Back Last Batch to return the most recent batch of moves to where they came from.

Neither ever overwrites your data. If something new now sits where a file would return, that item is skipped and you're told, while everything else goes back. Your external drive needs to be connected. See Restore Points.
