The Recently Deleted feature allows users to recover items that have been accidentally deleted. It gives users a window, ensuring the important files can be retrieved in case of an unintended deletion. Therefore, it is a valuable feature for users who want to protect their data and avoid irreversible loss.

Firstly, the Recently Deleted feature helps users to easily locate and recover deleted items within a period. No matter you delete files by mistake or delete files and then regret, it enables you to recover the deleted files and items before they are permanently removed on your iPhone or iPad.

Furthermore, this feature streamlines the data recovery process on iOS devices. The Recently Deleted feature makes it convenient for users to recover deleted items with just a few taps. The Recently Deleted folder usually delivers the 恢复 or relative option.

Thirdly, you can view and check the deleted files or items in the Recently Deleted folder. You can access this feature within the Photos, Files, Notes, Voice Memos, or iCloud, and check the recently deleted items directly. This feature allows you to recover specific items or all files easily.

At last, the Recently Deleted feature won’t erase or reset your device. Unlike the iCloud backup or iTunes/Finder backup, you can recover the deleted files or items to their original places. It won’t interrupt the existing data or overwrite current files on your iOS device.

Tips for Utilizing the Recently Deleted Feature

The Recently Deleted feature is a valuable tool for iOS users in managing digital content. Fully utilizing this feature ensures you can effectively recover any recently deleted items. Here are some important tips:

1. Regularly check the Recently Deleted folder. Make it a habit to check the Recently Deleted album and folder in each available app on your device. So that you won’t miss the opportunity of data recovery.

Part 5: What to Do If You Cannot Find Files in Recently Deleted

The Recently Deleted feature is not perfect for data recovery on iOS devices. The 30-day limit is a big problem. After the expiration, your files will be erased permanently.
