Using Recently Deleted Notes:

What is your iOS? Recently Deleted is a feature of iOS16 and thereafter. So, see if the version is pre iOS16. If so, then it is just not an option. Go to: Settings > General > About > Software Version

Seems iCloud is mainly for sync of items across various devices ... deleting in iCloud or from a device, deletes same from everywhere that is in sync. (Eg: If you turn off sync of Photos they delete from iCloud only, and remain on the device(s).)


Maybe these directions can help recover the photos in Files: Delete files or recover deleted files in the Files app on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
