    Dear @adowers,

    Thank you for your post. 

    The recovering of a deleted file is not possible. But if that was a false-positive notification, please contact my colleagues for further investigation. 

    Have a great day and all the best,

    Hello, here I know some ways to recover deleted files, but I am not sure whether they can work for you, you can just have a try.

    1. Check your Trash nd backup

    2. Use Ctrl+Z

    3. Apply data recovery tool, like the Bitwar Data Recovery tool here.

    I hope it can do something for you.

    Hi @adowers 

     

    Thanks for the post. 

    Usually, Endpoint Protection will not delete a file, most of the times it will be quarantined. You can check the threat detail in the Management console or click on the Quarantine button in the Endpoint protection Tab. 

    If a file would be deleted it was deemed by the malware engine that a virus could not be disinfected and the next action is deleted. However, these cases are very rare and false positives for these cases are rare also.
