Restoring entire folders from trash bin

Upon running a disk sweeper, I accidentally deleted folders that I need to keep. They are in the trash, but when I right click on them there is no option to Put Back or Restore. How can I get these back where they belong?

Restore from your backup. Time Machine can restore folders, for instance.


Or drag the files back manually, if you’re YOLO’ing with your data and have no backups.
