I erased all my iCloud files form my laptop. I emptied all the files from the trash. It was a mistake. Can I get them back from Apple iCloud? Does Apple back up my iCloud?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

How to recover deleted files from disconnected iCloud on MacBook? Hi, I really need help. I recently disconnected iCloud from my iPhone because I wanted to free up some space, thinking it would just stop syncing — but it ended up deleting everything from my MacBook as well. Now all my files are gone — I’ve checked iCloud.com, the “Recently Deleted” section, and my Mac’s Trash, but nothing is there. It’s like everything vanished. These files were very important (personal, work, and school-related), and I’m really hoping there’s a way Apple can recover them from iCloud’s servers. Please let me know if anything can be done. I haven't synced anything new since the deletion. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Urgent – iCloud Disconnection Deleted All My Laptop Files

The only option on the page you sent me to askbarnabas, is how to restore files TO icloud, not from icloud to my computer. Help!!

Did you have any other devices using iCloud?
