5. Choose a destination for the files.

Once you have selected the files you want to retrieve, you need to choose a destination for the files. You can choose to export the files to your computer's hard drive, or you can export them to a USB flash drive.

6. Click on the "Export" button.

Once you have chosen a destination for the files, you can click on the "Export" button. The files will be exported to the destination you selected.
