Just assking, did you try this?


Recover files deleted from iCloud Drive

You can recover files you deleted from iCloud Drive in the last 30 days.

  1. In iCloud Drive on iCloud.com, tap Recently Deleted at the bottom of the window.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Recover some items: Tap Select, tap the items you want to recover, then tap Recover.
    • Recover all items: Tap Recover All.

Look for your recovered files in the folders they were in when you deleted them. For example, if a file was in the Pages folder when you deleted it, look for the recovered file in the Pages folder.
