Not when you permanently delete an item, no. Until then, you can recover from the Recently Deleted album. After 30 days, unless you delete earlier, the items are erased permanently

Well, for this case, permanent is permanent is gone, permanently.


Absent some other previous backup of this data or a shared copy, this video is no more, and has ceased to be.
