Open Photos, go to Recently Deleted, and choose the videos or photos you wish to retrieve. According to the on-screen instructions, retrieve them. You can also go into iCloud settings and determine if important data is synced or not. Be aware of the difference between syncing and backups, and delete synced content to delete it on other connected devices. ## Restore Data Using an iCloud Backup If you can't locate your files in Recently Deleted, a previous iCloud backup might have saved them.
