Restore Clips


This feature is available only for clips uploaded as Cloud Synced or Public/Unlisted Posts. It does not apply to Private Links.

Recovering Local Clips

Clips deleted from local storage can be restored if the Recycle Bin feature is enabled. Otherwise, recovery is not possible.

The Recycle Bin setting can be enabled in:

  • Medal Settings > Cloud & Posts > Use Recycle Bin

Using the Recycle Bin

When enabled, deleted clips are sent to your system’s Recycle Bin:

  1. Navigate to your system’s Recycle Bin.
  2. Right-click the file you want to restore.
  3. Select Restore.

The file will return to its original location before deletion. For more information, visit this guide.

Recycle Bin


Restored clips will not automatically appear in the app's library. You must re-import them manually as new clips.

Auto-Delete Feature

Medal’s Free Up Space feature automatically removes older clips when a storage limit is reached. Ensure critical clips are backed up to the cloud to prevent loss.
