  3. Right-click the mouse and select "Properties" from the bottom of the menu. Then select the "Previous Versions" tab.
  4. Select the version of the folder that contains the file before it was deleted, and then click "View".
  5. View the folder and select the file that will be recovered.
  6. Drag-and-drop or cut-and-paste the Shadow Copy to the desktop or folder on the local machine.
