unfiling
Extracting from storage
Unfiling is removing something from a file or filing system—the reversal of filing.
In legal contexts, unfiling a document withdraws it from official court records: The attorney moved to unfile the complaint.
In computing and document management, unfiling retrieves or releases a document from its organized location.
