How can I get a deleted file back on iPhone?

Hi lindac1950,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you deleted a file off your iPhone and you'd like it back. We'd like to help.

Was this file stored in the Files app? If so, this resource will be helpful: Delete a file or recover a file that you deleted from the Files app - Apple Support

Recover a file that you deleted

When you delete a file from iCloud Drive or On My [device], it goes into your Recently Deleted folder. After 30 days, your files are removed from Recently Deleted.

If you change your mind or accidentally delete a file, you have 30 days to get it back.

How to recover a file that you deleted on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. In the Files app, tap the Browse tab.

2. Go to Locations.

3. Tap Recently Deleted.

4. Select the file that you want to keep and tap Recover.

If it's not the Files app that this was deleted from, let us know more about it and we'll continue to help.

Cheers!
