Using p4v I've unintentionally "marked for delete" several files in my local repo. How can I unmark these items. These items may have new changes and I do not want to override them.

In the pending changelist in the pv4 gui, you should see the files listed as marked for delete.

Select those files you do not want to delete, and revert them.
