How can you restore files deleted by a particular user within a specific time? using powershell
Please advise
How can you restore files deleted by a particular user within a specific time using powershell ?
Sorry, I usually prefers date1 be the older date and date 2 the newer date. If you set it this way, greater than date "-gt" and Less than date "-lt" dates the other way around between "date1" and "date2".
Below is my sample script for you:
$date1=get-date("08/21/2020")
$date2=get-date("08/11/2020")
Connect-PnPOnline https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/michael
Get-PnPRecycleBinItem | ? {($_.DeletedDate -gt $date2 -and $_.DeletedDate -lt $date1) -and ($_.DeletedByEmail -eq 'john@contoso.com')} | Restore-PnpRecycleBinItem -Force

Please help the PowerShell command is performed. but in the backend, the files are still in the recycle bin
here is a screenshot attached. also, i have tried it with both modules at a time with one but still the command runs but the file is still in the bin
Install-Module -Name SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline
Install-Module -Name PnP.PowerShell
although this works
Get-PnPRecycleBinItem | Where { $_.DeletedByEmail -eq "amit@mstestgigmosamyad.onmicrosoft.com"} | Restore-PnpRecycleBinItem -Force
but cant customize dates

Hi Mike
I notice the date is in US format will I need to amend it to UK format for this to work on my SPO site?
Thanks
