User can restore deleted files from Centrestack web portal. It depends on the type of folders you are restored from. Check here if you want to tell the different folder types.

. Restore files in regular folder

If the folder is a regular folder (not versioned folder) and in place versioning is not enabled, deleted files are moved to Trash Can. You can go to Trash Can on web portal and restore deleted files there. The regular folder is not common in latest Centrestack. By default, all folders are versioned.
