Wondering if your iPad is short on memory / storage space; and if it has space free in which to operate :smoothly.


If your device is low on storage, it automatically frees up space while installing an app, updating iOS or iPadOS, downloading music, recording videos, and more.

else:

If you deleted .pdf files in iCloud, any synced .pdf files on your iPad would also delete.


You may want to check if the .pdf files remain in a "Recently Deleted" folder in the app where you had stored them. Maybe you can restore them.

Eg: Delete files or recover deleted files in the Files app on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
