We need an Undelete feature in Skydrive

[kenzibit]

Really don't know what happened but I deleted an important and un-backed up folder containing important lab files from my Skydrive yesterday.....I nearly went mad. It brought me to the idea of an undelete feature in skydrive which I think can help most of us in this situation since once it's deleted, there's no way of getting it back. I even learnt Dropbox has an undelete feature so why can't MS incoporate it in Skydrive? Is it not possible?

Really don't know what to do now

Sorry to hear about your lost files. But you also bring up a good point about being able to undelete. Is there a way to offer suggestions to Microsoft (or the specific product teams)? Features like undelete, file versioning (for all files, not just Office files) are features currently available on the competition's products, and would really help SkyDrive.

SkyDrive has versioning already.

SkyDrive has versioning already.

I thought it was just for certain Office files, and not to all files. Am I mistaken?

Thanks ninjaap, but that's just for windows phone. I think the Sky Drive team could also benefit from such suggestions (if they're open to hearing them).

That's right, only Office files.

Yea maybe like a recycle bin or something for non office files.
