How do I untrim a voice memo to recover the original audio?

I have an iPhone 11 and I was trying to trim the audio to save it as a new file and instead, it saved over the original recording. I just want the original voice memo back. When I scroll down there isn't a recently deleted folder either and in my settings, it is set to permanently delete every 30 days. Is there any software program that can recover the original audio untrimmed?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

If the voice memo was in a backup and you have not backed up since saving the edited file you can restore it from your backup. You will lose anything added since the date/time of that backup -> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
