You may need to restore from your Time Machine backup. If the files are not found in iCloud, they do not exist.

Help Needed to Recover Deleted Files from iCloud Hi, I accidentally deleted files from my Desktop, which are synced with iCloud. The files were also deleted from iCloud, and I can't find them in the "Recently Deleted" folder. I don’t have a backup of the files. Is there any way to recover them? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

Deleted Files on iCloud I recently deleted some files which were synced across another computer using iCloud. Upon releasing my mistake I tried to recover them through 'recently deleted files'. Unfortunately nothing was there. I also tried restore files which also didn't work. Any suggestions?

How to recover deleted files from disconnected iCloud on MacBook? Hi, I really need help. I recently disconnected iCloud from my iPhone because I wanted to free up some space, thinking it would just stop syncing — but it ended up deleting everything from my MacBook as well. Now all my files are gone — I’ve checked iCloud.com, the “Recently Deleted” section, and my Mac’s Trash, but nothing is there. It’s like everything vanished. These files were very important (personal, work, and school-related), and I’m really hoping there’s a way Apple can recover them from iCloud’s servers. Please let me know if anything can be done. I haven't synced anything new since the deletion. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Urgent – iCloud Disconnection Deleted All My Laptop Files
