Accidentally deleted an important file? Depending on your setup, you can often get it back from a backup — here’s how to recover in cPanel.
If you have a recent backup — your own or one we keep as a courtesy — restoring the single lost file is usually quick. The Backup tool lets you restore a home-directory backup and extract just what you need.
Rather than overwriting everything, download the relevant backup, extract the one file or folder, and re-upload it via File Manager. This avoids disturbing changes made since the backup.
Regular, automated backups make recovery painless. Keep copies off-server and take a backup before risky changes, so a deletion is always a minor, reversible mishap.
Recover a deleted file from a recent backup by extracting just that file — and automate backups so deletions are always reversible.
