How to undo Erasing and Removing of my iPhone XR backup from iCloud.

Hi!

Yesterday evening I erased and removed my iPhone XR backup from iCloud due to a misunderstanding. Afterwards, my iPhone XR was completely reinstalled and all my data are gone. I therefore need the deleted backup to get the apps and data back on my iPhone XR. However, I can't find any place on icloud.com to restore the backup that was removed from iCloud. Can anyone tell me if a restore of the removed backup (i.e. Undo the Erase and Remove Action) is still possible now? If yes how?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards

If there are no previous backups listed, if you want to restore your iPhone after setting it up again, the backup data can not be restored.

If you use iCloud Backup, you won't find a list of your backups on iCloud.com. Here's how to find your iCloud backups on your iOS or iPadOS device, Mac or PC.

On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud.
Tap Manage Account Storage, then tap Backups.
Tap a backup to see more details about it, choose which information to back up or delete the backup.

You can choose which content to back up solely from the Settings menu of the device that stores that content. For example, while you can view your iPad backup from your iPhone, you can only choose which iPad content to back up from the Settings menu of your iPad.
