If option ‘Job -> Options -> Seave deleted/replaced files, last version only’ is checked (it is checked by default) then GoodSync saves the last version of every file that it replaces or deletes to the _gsdata_\_saved_ folder that is located inside your sync folder. So GoodSync has its own ‘recycle bin’ that works not just on Windows file system, but also on servers. You can get back deleted/replaced files back by opening folder your-sync-folder\_gsdata_\_saved_ in Windows Explorer and copying the files or entire folders back to where they used to be. Note that folder _gsdata_ is hidden, so you should enable showing hidden folders in Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Show Hidden Files and Folders. To get files back from _saved_ folder on a server, use GoodSync Explorer.
