How to Recover Deleted Google Drive Files on Android

Open your Google Drive. It’s the blue, green, and yellow triangle labeled “Drive” in the app drawer. You may also find it on your home screen. If you were not the owner of the deleted file, you will be unable to restore it.

Tap ☰. It’s at the top-left corner of the screen.

Tap Trash. This opens a list of deleted files. Deleted files remain in this folder until you clear the trash.

Tap ⁝ next to the file you want to restore. A pop-up menu will appear.

Tap Restore. The file is now moved back to its original location in your Google Drive.
