Part 1: How to Recover Deleted Files on iPad from Recycle Bin?

Just as you know, your computer or other devices, like iMac, you can find the trash can easily where stores the deleted files for some time. If you would like to recover these files from trash can on PC or iMac, you only need to simply recover them before they are permanently removed. Unlike these devices, iPad is quite different because you can find no trash can to store the deleted files on your iPad. Once you delete some files from your iPad, there is not a specific recycle bin to store these files. Then, where is the recycle bin on iPad? Is it possible to recover deleted files on iPad from recycle bin?

Even though there is not a trash can on iPad, you can still find a way to recover the deleted files on your iPad because you are provided with a similar function to achieve the goal. Instead of the recycle bin, a Recently Deleted folder would be able to act as a recycle bin on other devices.

Part 2: How to Recover Deleted Files on iPad from iTunes Backup?

Secondly, you can turn asides to the backups you have made via iTunes before, if you would not like to adopt the third-party app. Before you starting applying iTunes backups, you need to make two points clear. The first one is you need to restore your iPhone with the old backups via iTunes. The second point is that if you determine to use your old backups to completely restore your iPhone, then all the data currently stored on your iPad would be missing. Well, a safer way to avoid the lost data is to make another new backup based on your current data on you iTunes. Then you can start recovering deleted files on iPad using the old backups. Here are the detailed steps.

Part 3: How to Recover Deleted Files on iPad from iCloud Backup?

Asides from the old backup you have made via iTunes, another way you can turn to is to recover deleted files on iPad using iCloud backups. But this method only works for those who have already made the iCloud backups based on the previous data on your iPad. If not, I guess your iCloud storage would be empty. But just as the Part 2 has suggested, using iCloud backups would ask you to restore your current iPad first. Then the iCloud backup would apply to your iPad. But remember that restoring your iPad would cause the missing of the current data on your iPad. So, you had better make a new backup of your current information on your iPad. Once completed, the iCloud backup would be applied then. The following steps would be your referential information.

Step 1:Open the “Settings” app on your iPad and then go to “General”.

Step 2:Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you can find the “Reset” option. Click “Reset” button to enter the detailed options.

Step 3:Click “Erase All Content and Settings” option under the “Reset” tab. Here, you have to know more about this option. “Erase All Content and Settings” would delete all the user data on your iPad and the related settings, but it would not make any changes to your iPad’s operating system. If you tap this option, your iPad would be prompted to the factory settings.

Step 4:Start this process. It would take some time. Your iPad will start and it would turn off to make this action active. Once the restoring process have been completed, you would come to find that your iPad would be a totally new one. Then you can select the option “Restore from iCloud Backup” to input the iCloud data to your iPad. But one more tip for you is that make sure the iCloud backup has contained your deleted files.
