Recovering Deleted Items in Outlook 365

Even if you have deleted something in Outlook (e.g., mail, contacts, calendar item…) and even if you have emptied your Deleted Items folder, you may still be able to recover something that would otherwise be gone.

  • Find and right-click the Deleted Items folder on the left side of the screen.
  • Choose Recover Deleted Items.
  • Click once on the item you would like to recover.
    • Use the search box at the top of the window to track down what you are trying to recover if you don’t see it immediately.
    • Click the check-box to the left of each item you would like to recover if there are multiple items to retrieve at once.
  • Click the Recover link at the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window.
  • Click the OK button on the new pop-up that explains where your item(s) will go.
  • Close the window.
