Restoring files in OneDrive from an accidental delete

Summary

Just in case a user gets trigger happy with the delete button when using OneDrive and accidentally erases a bunch of files there is a new feature arriving in a February update.

Whenever someone deletes more than 200 synced OneDrive or SharePoint files at once from their device, the OneDrive sync client will prompt the user to confirm it was intentional. If it was accidental, the user can tap Restore Files to bring them back, otherwise tapping remove will delete them as usual.

What does this mean for me?

There is nothing to do to prepare as the update will just come to your Office 365 during February.
