# Restore or Delete Quarantined Files
When the Anti-Virus software locates virus files or files that it thinks are virus files, there are occasions when you would want to restore these files if they have mistaken for a virus. If you believe a file to be from a trusted source and not a virus, you can restore it.

4\. Select the file(s) you wish to Restore.
5\. Click **RESTORE**.
6\. You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to Restore the Quarantined File(s); click **RESTORE** to confirm.
7\. Scroll across to the right of the grid, and the restored file(s) status will be updated to **Restored**.
