Hey everyone, I deleted some files from Google Drive on my iPhone 14, and they’re not in the trash. Can someone guide me on how to recover deleted files from google drive? I’m on iOS 17 and use a MacBook. Any recovery tools? Thanks!
Hey kylo.sketch!
That’s a bummer, but don’t worry, there are a few ways to try and recover those Reels.
First, check Instagram’s “Recently Deleted” folder. Reels you delete usually stay there for 30 days before they’re gone for good. To find it, go to your profile, tap the menu icon (three lines), then “Settings” > “Account” > “Recently Deleted.” Hopefully, your Reels are hanging out there!
If they’re not there, it gets a bit trickier. Sometimes, if you’ve shared the Reel to your Instagram Story, it might still be in your Story Archive. You can find that in “Settings” > “Archive” > “Story Archive.”
For future-proofing, have you thought about using a monitoring app like Haqerra? It’s not just for keeping tabs on someone; it also backs up your media, including Instagram Reels. It could be a lifesaver for accidentally deleted content. You can check it out and see if it fits your needs for backing up important stuff!
Good luck getting those Reels back! Let us know if any of these steps work out for you!
