Restoring Deleted Files
You must specify the index number of a deleted file to restore it. The index number for each file appears
in the first column of the dir command output. A file cannot be undeleted if a valid file with the same
name already exists. Instead, you must delete the existing file and then undelete the desired file. A file
can be deleted and undeleted up to 15 times.
