If you are running iOS 16, see this. If running an older iOS version, it does not apply.

Delete and recover messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If you sync messages with iCloud, and you delete a message, it cannot be recovered. When you use message with iCloud, actions are reflected across devices and in iCloud.com.

If you include messages in your backups, restoring the relevant backup will recover your messages. You will also overwrite the current contents on your device and turn back the clock to the date and time that the backup was created.

See this for help with restoring a backup.
