Can TC undo deleted files? I didn't find any relevant commands.
I searched for related posts but didn't find any satisfactory solutions.
In TC, can vbs or ahk scripts undo deleted files?
The current solution is to press Ctrl+P, then Enter, then Ctrl+Z to undo. Is there any other more convenient solution?

TC cannot. It's possible to move files back from the Recycle Bin using a script, provided that the list of deleted files will be saved. It will not work without a recycle bin, for this the Back2life plugin can help or a recovery program, and then only on HDD.

After deleting to recycle bin, you can right click on the Windows desktop to open the "Undelete" command. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any way to call this command directly from Total Commander.

There is a special HTMLView plugin that, when installed, allows to use Quick View (Ctrl+Q) in the parent directory [..] , when right-click in the blank area of the Quick View window, or press the Menu key (≣ Menu) or Shift+F10, the Quick View window in TC will display an "Undo" function, as well as a "Redo" function.ghisler(Author) wrote: 2024-11-24, 08:07 UTC Unfortunately I'm not aware of any way to call this command directly from Total Commander.
My suggestion is whether, in a future version, it would be possible to add a similar HTMLView Menu Key Undo feature by right-clicking on a specific position of the window, such as after the "free" text in the drive combobox.

These solutions all require opening Explorer to be implemented.

Or right click on F8 Delete button and choose "Open" to get directly to the Recycle bin in Explorer.ghisler(Author) wrote: 2024-11-24, 08:07 UTC you can right click on the Windows desktop to open the "Undelete" command.
Accidents happen, but this should be a rare event and maybe not even worth the effort of implementing "Undo" function.

Real file recovery is becoming a thing of the past as files are erased completely on SSDs which are now most commonly used. Normally I would love for TC to recover files (giving you "total" control), but it is a bit complicated even on a hard disk. It requires direct disk access with admin rights and recovery to another disk to avoid overwriting needed data. Programs that work for this on old Windows don't work on new Windows and vice versa, so they would need to actively support old OS which would annoy many people.

You're right, but the OP meant only direct access to files in recycle bin (deleted files to recycle bin), I think, which is possible via many ways from within Tc
