How do I undelete an entire list I mistakenly deleted?
I'm freaked! I meant to delete one contact from a long list, but hit the X
button instead of "remove" and now the entire list is gone! Is there any way I can get it back? I think I have a backup of my Outlook stuff, but not even sure how to get just that portion of my contact list. Any ideas? Thanks so much Malia

Go to accessories to systym restore put in the day before you deleted it and
it will restore to that point. Darl "Malia" wrote: I'm freaked! I meant to delete one contact from a long list, but hit the X button instead of "remove" and now the entire list is gone!

Wrong. System restore does not restore data.

Are we to assume that you are referring to a Distribution List? If so,
retrieve it from the Deleted Items Folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Malia" wrote in message ... I'm freaked!

How do I undelete an entire list I mistakenly deleted?
Hi guys,
Thanks for both replies. Yep, I found out the restore deal didn't work. And, yes, this is a distribution list I set up with LOTS of names. This just happened today and just looked in Deleted Items and don't see it. I only see Deleted Items in the Mail folders, though, not for Contacts. Am I missing something? I'm pretty bummed about it. I do periodic backups of Outlook data and can try to figure out how to get it back that way if you can't tell me some easier way. If I have to go that route and I find the backup folders, will it overwrite all the other stuff that's there that's been added since the last backup or just restore the Distribution List I lost? It sure would be nice if they made it a bit harder to do something that drastic - like one of their "are you sure you want to do this" kinda messages! I really did think I was just deleting that one contact on the list by pressing the "X" key - not the whole freakin' list! :-) Thanks, Malia "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Are we to assume that you are referring to a Distribution List?

Deleted Items will catch all items you delete from Outlook, including
Contacts and DL's. It would not have been deleted from your Deleted Items Folder unless you did so (do you empty your Deleted Items automatically on exit, for example?). If it is not in Deleted Items it is gone for good. Restoring from backup is simple. Just open the backup file in Outlook and copy exactly what you need from it. Under no circumstance should you import this data or try to retrieve it through some Wizard or automated process. Never trust Microsoft to do something you can do better. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Malia" wrote in message ... Hi guys, Thanks for both replies. Yep, I found out the restore deal didn't work.

If you deleted the items from the Deleted Items folder there is no way to
recover them other than from a backup of your data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ian Randy" Ian wrote in message ... hi all.. My name is Ian from Indonesia. I have problem just like Malia.

Open Deleted Items and drag it back to the COntacts folder or click EditUndo Delete. I think I have a backup of my Outlook stuff, but not even sure how to get just that portion of my contact list. If the backup is a PST, click FileOpenOutlook Data File, browse to that PST, select it, and click OK. Now open the Contacts folder in that set of folders, select the contacts you wish to restore, click EditCopy to Folder, and specify your default Contacts folder as the destination. When you're done, you can close the added PST again with right-clickClose on the root of the PST. -- Brian Tillman
