Restore a Collection

anaselli
I just moved a very large folder (containing 9 sub-folders) to another folder (titled "Dissertation: all resources"). Apparently, it "copied" instead of "moved." After I moved it, the title of the very large folder appeared as a sub-folder where I moved it, so then I removed the collection elsewhere on the list. Big mistake! I think that removed the collection entirely in both places! The collection I'm trying to recover still shows in my Library at Zotero.org--at least for now. How do I restore that collection to Zotero? Or is it too late?

    I figured out how to solve this issue: Tools > Preferences > Sync > Reset [tab] > Full Sync with Zotero Server > Reset.

    That sync option merges "local Zotero data with data from the sync server, ignoring sync history."

    It worked.
