Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, Dave!

I understand you're trying to recover a Pages file you deleted by mistake. I'd be happy to provide information that may help you out.

Check out this article: Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Delete files from the Files app

Select the files that you don't want anymore and tap Delete or User uploaded file. If you delete files from the iCloud Drive folder on one device, they delete on your other devices too. iCloud Drive removes the files from every device that you're signed in to with the same Apple ID.

When you delete a file from iCloud Drive or On My [device], it goes into your Recently Deleted folder. If you change your mind or accidentally delete a file, you have 30 days to get it back. Go to Locations > Recently Deleted. Select the file that you want to keep and tap Recover. After 30 days, your files are removed from Recently Deleted.

You can also sign into iCloud.com from your Mac or PC, then go to iCloud Drive and check Recently Deleted. Or go to Settings > Restore Files.



Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day!
