SUMMARY

I used LapLink to transfer files. I discovered that I transferred the files in the wrong direction. Can I undo the file transfer? How can I recover files that are now missing?

SOLUTION

NOTE: This information applies to all Laplink Software, Inc. products.

Laplink does not have an Undo feature. 

If a file or folder is deleted using Laplink's Clone Folder operation, the files are not in the Windows Recycle bin.

Options for restoring files

• If you deleted a file or folder using a Delete button or command in LapLink, use Windows Recycle bin to restore the file.
  
  
• Restore from a recent backup


• In some situations, overwritten or deleted files may be recovered using software solutions by
