How can I recover deleted ICloud backups from years ago

I have deleted the photos and videos from 2018-2019-2020 on my devices with and without iCloud to free up space. Is there a website, app on iPhone or pc software to recover the backup that I deleted years ago for free and or iCloud Backup History (for existing and deleted backups like my iPad and iPod touch) Thanks and regards

iPod, iOS 12

For future reference...

Recovering Lost Data:

Look in a place would would have backed it up. Elsewise, it is gone. For example, here is how you would troubleshoot Photos and Videos:


Locating Lost Photos and Videos:


I. Enable Photos and Contacts in iCloud:

On the iPhones, enable Contacts in iCloud.

On the iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Photos (so that it is green)
  5. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green)


II. Troubleshooting Deleted Photos:

Three Things to Try:

A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos App - Apple Support

B. Check iCloud, Directly:

Go here, and see if they reside in iCloudhttps://www.icloud.com/photos

C. Where Else to Check:

  1. PC
  2. PDA
  3. eMail
  4. Mac Device
  5. Cloud Storage
  6. Android Phone
  7. USB Flash Drive
  8. External Hard drive
  9. Secure Digital Card
  10. Compact Flash Card
