Nonsense. If you delete the folder, how can you access the “previous versions” of the folder…duhhhh. Why don’y you just restore it from the recycle bin back to it’s original location.

I think the question should say “You accidentally delete the CONTENTS of the Data1 folder”. But then again, why not look in the recycle bin?

Bruce, you can access the previous versions of the parent folder User1, as stated in the answer B. Yes, you could use recycle bin (assuming it’s enabled), but this is not one of the choices.
