ICPete 0 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I accidentally hit Delete when I meant to Play a recording from earlier today. I can't find any unDelete feature in the GUI. I used to use Dish, and they had an option to restore a program you had deleted accidentally. I looked into my server where the shows are stored, and can see files from other days, but not the one I deleted. Is there really NO WAY to recover a file if you accidentally delete a recording off Live TV?? I even checked the server's recycle bin, but nothing there.

Carlo 4330 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hello @ICPete, There is no unDelete feature in Emby. If you confirmed the delete in Emby and it's not in your recycle bin it will be permanently deleted as it's designed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8242 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Won't help now but wouldn't the Safe Delete plugin help for the future? @TeamB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICPete 0 Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 OK I installed the SafeDelete plugin, set the recycled bin location in its settings, then tried deleting a recorded TV show I didn't care about. After doing so I'm not seeing any option to restore it, and in the Activity tab of the SafeDelete plugin interface, there is no activity showing up. However I have discovered that deleting a show even without that plugin causes it to be deleted into my regular Recycle Bin, so it is recoverable that way. I think the only reason the show I deleted last night was in the Recycle Bin is that I may have emptied the Bin, by pure coincidence, just after my wife had accidentally deleted her show. Just a fluke coincidence, as I normally go weeks between emptying the Bin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hi ICPete, I believe you would still have to manually restore the show/movie with SafeDelete. Carlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
