If you accidentally delete an EndNote library (mylibrary.enl), you can recover it from the corresponding 'Data folder' (mylibrary.data).
The Data folder is created alongside the library and holds files such as PDFs and images that you attach to records.
- Open WordPad or Notepad from the 'Programs' > 'Windows Accessories' menu on your computer and create a blank document.
- Select 'File' > 'Save As…' and save the blank document in the same area as the Data folder and with the same name as the Data folder e.g. P:\mylibrary.enl
The file should then appear as an EndNote library which can be opened and used.
