Is there a way for a user to search and show only the deleted files from a backup?

We can use the show deleted items, but haven’t found any way to filter or search it so we only see the deleted ones. The deleted items also holds their original modified time. So cannot use time filter to see either.

If there had been an optional column with state deleted/present this would have solved it.

This started with a request from a customer that did not know exactly what the files were named or where they were stored.

I can’t think of a way. You could browse, save the list, and then browse again with deleted items, save the list and remove duplicates to identify only the deleted items perhaps
