Pull up the folder you want them to go to, select the files in trash, and drag and drop.

Restoring entire folders from trash bin Upon running a disk sweeper, I accidentally deleted folders that I need to keep. They are in the trash, but when I right click on them there is no option to Put Back or Restore. How can I get these back where they belong?

Putting back items currently in trash Yesterday I moved a bunch of files to the trash. Unfortunately, I trashed some files that the OS seems to need, but I don't know which ones. So I want to put back from the Trash all the files I moved to trash yesterday. I can't run a restore from Time Mach because Time Machine restore needs one or more of the files I moved to Trash. Please help.
