Deleted Images Not Restored with Ctrl+Z
I accidentally deleted a file using backspace. I pressed ctrl+z and it didn't come back.
Sometimes it does, other times it doesnt. Then, when rebooting the program, sometimes the file that did restore isn't there anymore. How do I get the files back? Since they are already in the catalog I can't drag them back into the session unless I copy and rename the RAW file.

Is it a catalog or a session? (You mention both.)
If a catalog, was the image stored inside the catalog, or in a folder outside it?
Have you looked in the session or catalog trash? It sounds more like a catalog from what you say. If Capture One thinks the image is already in the catalog, it is likely that that's because it is, in the Trash. If it's in the Trash, you should be able to just drag it out again to the location of your choice (presumably the folder it was in before).

This is in a session, but the image still goes into both by default right?
It doesn't delete the file from the hard drive, just from the session and catalog. It also didn't appear in the trash
I can restore it by going into filters and choosing "none", but then I'm rolling the dice. If I close the program, then reboot it, sometimes the files will still be there, other times they won't.
Still not sure why ctrl+z is inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've had this problem for years and haven't really figured it out 100%

Well I'm still confused as to whether we are dealing with a catalog or a session. And I'm not sure what you meant by "but the image still goes into both by default right?" Do you mean that, whether in a catalog or a session, deleting it adds it to the session trash (or catalog trash) as the case may be? To which the answer may be that it depends whether you were looking at the image in an actual folder or in a virtual collection like an album or one of the Recent Imports collections in a catalog.
But having said that ...
Sessions
I am in the browser, looking at the Capture folder in a session and have one image selected. I hit the backspace key. The image disappears from the browser. I hit Cmd-Z (I'm on a Mac) and the image comes back again.
Alternatively, I don't hit Cmd-Z. Instead I look in the Trash folder, and the image is there. I can drag it back to the Capture folder as an alternative to hitting Cmd-Z.
Note that in a session, when I hit Backspace the image is physically moved on disc to the Trash folder. And when I hit Cmd-Z (or when I drag it back) it is physically moved back again to the Capture folder.
Catalog
I am in the browser, looking at a folder (not an album) with an image selected. I hit Backspace, and the image disappears from view in the browser. I look in the Catalog trash, and it is there. If I like I can drag it back. Or I can hit Cmd-Z and it moves back again.
BUT NOTE THIS DIFFERENCE - the image file does NOT physically move from the folder it was in. If I look there in Finder (the Mac equivalent of File Explorer) it is still in the original folder. Trash in a catalog is NOT a physical location. It's just that the catalog database records the image as being in Trash, and hides it in the original folder.
Also in a catalog, my image might not be in a real folder at all - it might be in the In Catalog section of the Library - stored within the catalog structure itself. In that case I find that I can delete it using the Backspace key, and I can undo it by either hitting Cmd-Z, or by dragging it back. But in that case, you won't be able use Finder or Windows File Explorer to see where it has got to.
Albums
Note that if my image has been added to an album in the catalog, hitting Backspace removes it from the album, but that is only a virtual collection, so nothing moves on disc and the image is still in the folder. I can hit Cmd-Z to undo removing it from the album, or I can go to the actual folder, and drag it to the album again.
Recent Imports (catalogs only)
Recent Imports are just a convenience to find recently imported files in a catalog. They are not a physical folder, and they are not an album. I can hit Backspace and an image in a recent imports collection will disappear from that collection, but I can't drag it back from trash to where it came from, nor can I drag it to one of the other recent imports collections. Either it was imported at 26 November 2024 at 21:54 or it wasn't. I can drag it from Trash to some other folder and then (and only then) it will move on disc. Try not to go there - it's less confusing, if you are going to be moving images around or deleting them, to do it in the actual folder not in the recent imports collection. And safer to work in the actual folder or an album, too.
Filters
Your mention of Filters has me wondering what filters you had applied and what effect that might have had on what you were seeing.
Emptying the trash
And let's not get into what happens when you empty the trash in a catalog right now - it's complicated!
I hope some of that helps. I've no reason to think that the way it works in Windows is not the same as I am used to on a Mac, but I am not 100% sure.
