iCloud Issue

I accessed icloud drive in settings and accidentally deleted the files there. I signed in into icloud online to restore them but I keep getting a message when I go to "recently deleted" about an issue trying to load the page to try later and there are no files at all.


How can I make this work? Supposedly the files remain there for about 30 days until they are fully deleted for good.


Please help!

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Sync your iPad and Mac with same Apple ID and password on the same network make sure always turn on iCloud Drive on both , always archive the files see the complete article Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple

Files if deleted from iPad will also deleted from Mac and vice versa .
