On the Shares tab, select the gear icon for the share and then select Recover. Select a snapshot, navigate to the file, then right-click and choose Restore.
If you've enabled Windows previous versions, you can also recover via Windows.
Sandshark, thank you for your guidance. As I have never tried restoring, can I clarify that your method will allow me to recover the files deleted on 17th Jan 0900hrs while the snapshot copy was stamped at 14th Jan 0000hrs?

That method will result in the main share holding exactly the same contents as it held on 14 Jan 0000 hours.
If you added files to the share after that time (that you did not delete), then you should copy them before you do the restore.
The method I outlined is for restoring a single file, so any other files should be fine. If you now have a newer file with the same name, it will be overwritten unless you re-name it first. The recovered file will be as it existed at the time of the snapshot. So if changes were made to it afterward, they will not be present.
If you are restoring a whole directory or share, then any files in that directory/share created or modified after the snapshot date would need to backed up elsewhere to prevent the snapshot restore from deleting them.
