General Undo and Redo in File Explorer in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to undo and redo your last action in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The Undo option is only available after you perform an action such as Copy, Delete, Move, create New item, or Rename.

2 Press the Ctrl + Y keys to Redo.





1 Right click or press and hold on the background of the Desktop or window.
