How do I restore a folder back to its original location?

Click the Computer icon on your desktop to open it up. Navigate to the folder that used to contain the file or folder, right-click it, and then click Restore previous versions. If the folder was at the top level of a drive, for example R:, right-click the drive and then click Restore previous versions.
