I deleted a book by mistake. Can I get it back?

BookyAI •1 min read •21 views •Updated Oct 3, 2026

Yes, in most cases. BookyAI moves a deleted book to the Trash on a Mac or the Recycle Bin on Windows. Open the Trash or Recycle Bin, find the book's folder (its name starts with the date and the book's title), and choose "Put Back" on a Mac or "Restore" on Windows. The folder returns to your books folder and the book appears in your Library again; reopen BookyAI if it does not show at once. A book deleted permanently (only after you confirmed it, when the Trash refused it) cannot be restored.

A book disappeared from my Library but I never deleted it. Is my work gone? A chapter ignores its outline beats and writes the events of the following chapters. What can I do? A chapter or section heading ends up as the last line of a page in my export. How do I fix it? A chapter repeats parts of the previous chapter. Why does this happen and is it fixed?
