MEGA Rewind is a feature that lets you restore your files and folders back to a previous date. You can use it to restore deleted copies of your files and folders.

- Click Rewind.
or
- Click Drive on the left hand panel.
- Open the folder that you want to rewind.
- Click the Rewind button at the top of the screen.
- In the Rewind window on the right, select the date to rewind.
- Click Rewind.
Your deleted files will be restored to the folder. No files that have been added since that Rewind date will be removed; Rewind never deletes data.
Tip
To rewind your entire Cloud drive, either right-click on “Cloud drive” or click the Rewind button at the top of the screen while you are in the main Cloud drive folder.
Notes
- 30 days of data is stored for all accounts. Once you upgrade to a paid plan, we will start to store your data for longer (depending on the plan you purchase) so that in the future you can rewind up to 180 days.
- Rewind can’t be used in MEGA Lite.
- Rewinding multiple big folders at the same time could take a significant amount of time, so it is recommended to rewind one folder at a time.
- If any of your rewind data is subject to a copyright takedown or administrative action, it may not all be able to be recovered.
- To recover files deleted more than 180 days before you will have to contact support.
