Deleted iCloud Files I have been using a new macbook and wanted to give the older one away. I cleaned off the old one today by deleting all my files and gave it away. Now everything is deleted from my new macbook and I'm not able to recover anything from the settings in the icloud website, nor from my iphone. How do I recover all of my files?

I think Apple may have completed deleted all of my iCloud files from their servers? Earlier this year I ran out of storage for my 200 GB subscription plan. Last month I received a prompt that I had 30 days to make copies every iCloud document I wanted to keep, but I was unaware that Apple intended to remove all of my files once the 30 days was up. Upon receiving the "1 Day left" notification I immediately went to purchase more storage, but I noticed that the files had already been removed. Since I had technically purchased more storage before the 30 days, is there a way to recover the files because I cannot find them anywhere and my iCloud doesn't seem to be currently uploading any files even though I was able to purchase more storage before 30 days were officially up. Can I find my old files or are all of my photos and memories simply gone for good? Please help me.

Try going to iCloud.com using a computer browser, then click Account Settings. Under Advanced at the bottom left are some restore options. See if they help.
