macOS Messages app: how can I undo the deletion of a conversation?
I deleted a conversation by mistake. Restoring ~/Library/Messages from Time Machine doesn’t undo the deletion. Something else must have to be restored. What?
I'm on macOS 10.15.5
- In the Messages app Preferences, sign out.
- Quit Messages.
- From Time Machine
- restore ~/Library/Messages/
- restore ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Messages/
- Log out.
This worked. I summarized here from received wisdom.
