Hey iphonefile66,
I know how frustrating it is to accidentally delete important files! Since they’re not in your Recently Deleted, let’s explore a couple of options you can try.
First, check your iCloud Drive. Sometimes files get automatically backed up there. Just go to iCloud Drive, and see if you can find them.
If that doesn’t work, you might need a data recovery tool. One tool I’ve found super useful is
. It can actually dig deep into your iPhone’s storage to recover files you thought were gone forever. Plus, it works with iOS 17 and iCloud, so you should be good to go!
