Deleted iCloud files not showing in 'Recently Deleted'
My desktop is added to iCloud Drive, and recently I decided to migrate all my files from the desktop (so, from iCloud) to Dropbox.
I was copying the files over and then deleting them from the desktop, and then emptying the trash, as I was going along.
I then discovered that many of the files I had copied to Dropbox were .icloud files. It would appear that I had deleted the file, and also emptied the Trash, before it had fully copied over.
When I went in to iCloud Drive and looked at 'Recently Deleted' there was nothing there, in spite of having deleted hundreds of files from the desktop (so technically from iCloud) just a day or so previously.
My question is, why are those files not showing in 'Recently Deleted' and is there any way that I can recover the original files?
Many thanks
David
