How Institutions Can Recover Accidentally Deleted Class Tests in 15 Days
An accidental click deleting a major semester exam paper can destroy weeks of student submissions and vital academic records.
Accidental test deletion risks losing student submission data
When an assessment is accidentally removed, re-administering the test to thirty students creates immense parental frustration and administrative embarrassment.
Restore deleted tests and student responses from the institutional trash
Navigate to the Recycle Bin in your institution management console.
Filter records by 'Tests' to locate the deleted assessment paper.
Check the countdown timer showing the remaining days in the 15-day window.
Click Restore to return the test and all graded student responses to its batch.
Put it into practice
Example: Restoring an accidentally deleted biology unit test
An administrator accidentally deletes a 50-mark biology test; he restores it from the Recycle Bin three minutes later with all 32 student scores intact.
Worth checking first
- Restored tests return with all questions, student responses, and marks intact.
- Items remain restorable for 15 days from the exact deletion timestamp.
