    There is no "Undo" function currently in Zotero, but you might be able to restore your library from a backup.

    Open the Zotero data directory in your computer's file system (https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

    Close Zotero. Find the file named "zotero.sqlite" and rename it "zotero.sqlite.backup". Now, find "zotero.sqlite.bak". Check the date/time that it was last modified. Was it before you deleted the folder? If not, check the earlier backups ("zotero.sqlite.1.bak", etc.) until you find one from before you deleted the folder. Rename the selected backup to "zotero.sqlite".

    Reopen Zotero and you should find that the folder is back (but that any other changes you made since the backup are also gone).
