Accidentally deleted folder in windows live mail

Don't worry! Deleting a folder in Windows Live Mail can be frustrating, but it's not the end of the world. Here are some steps you can take to try and recover your deleted folder:

  1. Check the "Deleted Items" folder: Sometimes, deleted items are moved to the "Deleted Items" folder instead of being permanently deleted. To check, go to the "Folder" menu, select "Deleted Items", and look for your folder.
  2. Use the "Undo" feature: If you deleted the folder recently, you might be able to use the "Undo" feature to restore it. To do this, go to the "Folder" menu, select "Undo", and choose the point in time when you deleted the folder.
  3. Use the "Restore" feature: Windows Live Mail has a built-in "Restore" feature that can recover deleted folders. To use it, follow these steps:
    • Go to the "File" menu and select "Options".
    • Click on the "Data Files" tab.
    • Click on the "Restore" button next to "Deleted Items".
    • Select the date and time when you deleted the folder, and click "Restore".
  4. Use a third-party recovery tool: There are several third-party recovery tools available that can help you recover deleted folders in Windows Live Mail. Some popular options include:
    • EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
    • Recuva
    • Disk Drill
    • Glary Utilities

These tools can scan your computer for deleted files and folders, including those in Windows Live Mail. Follow the instructions provided with the tool to recover your deleted folder.

  1. Re-create the folder: If you're unable to recover the deleted folder, you can try re-creating it. Go to the "Folder" menu, select "New Folder", and create a new folder with the same name as the deleted one.

Remember to always back up your Windows Live Mail data regularly to prevent data loss in the future. You can use the built-in backup feature in Windows Live Mail or a third-party backup tool to do so.
