Description

On the Flight Data screen > 'Data Flash Logs' > 'Download Data Flash Logs ..' ,

I selected several log entries (check box) and then clicked 'Clear Logs'.

However, it cleared ALL the log files and not just ones I selected.

Now I don't see any log files, but I was intending to examine the current flight.

Since I didn't intend to clear all log files, how do I recover them ?
What is meant by "Clear Logs" and that there are check boxes next to each Log File ?

Start by reproducing the behavior in Flight Data > Data Flash Logs > Download Data Flash Logs, using the log-entry checkboxes and Clear Logs action. Determine whether Clear Logs is intended to remove every log or only selected entries, and make the resulting behavior or recovery guidance unambiguous.
