How to restore previously deleted measurements
If you did not select to delete the data permanently, then the data files can be recovered after deleting them. Recordings and sessions that have been deleted are copied to the deleted measurements folder. Using the Import dialog ("Import Measurements"), the data can be brought back to the Data Manager.After deleting, in the deleted measurements folder a folder is made for the current patient. That folder has the same name as it had before deleting. All the deleted measurement sessions are copied into that folder.
To restore a complete patient with all its measurements, the patient folder is simply copied back to the folder where the other patients are. To restore a measurement, the measurement session folder is copied from the deleted measurements folder into the patient folder of choice.
