How to Undo File Operations in ComfortFiles
Updated July 20, 2026
Press ⌘Z to undo your last file operation — a rename, a move, a paste, or a delete. Deleted something by mistake? ⌘Z brings it back out of the Trash to exactly where it was. Redo with ⇧⌘Z.
What can be undone
| You did | ⌘Z does |
|---|---|
| Renamed a file | Restores the old name |
| Moved / cut-pasted files | Moves them back where they were |
| Deleted to Trash | Restores them from the Trash to the original folder |
| Created a file or folder | Removes it again |
Undo works across the app — it doesn’t matter which tab or folder you’re looking at when you press ⌘Z.
The safety checks
Undo verifies the state of your files before acting. If something changed in the meantime — say, the file was renamed again by another app — the undo step is skipped rather than guessing and making things worse.
Why this matters
Finder has undo too, but knowing your file manager can walk back a wrong move is the difference between careful and confident. It’s also why deleting in ComfortFiles goes through the Trash, never straight to gone.
