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

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](https://storagestudio.us/manual/restore-points).
