Oops – I deleted that document

Suppose that you see that you need a document that you deleted. You have no copy of it, and no backup.

There still is a chance to get back at least portions of it, if you have Google desktop installed.

  • Launch a Google Desktop search looking for that document.
  • If it shows up in the list, click on “In cache”. You’ll see an older version of the document that now no longer exists.

This will only work if you have Google desktop instalkled before the deletion, and if your disk was fully indexed.
