Part 1. Recover From Recently Deleted Folder

The best thing that Apple ever did to iPad and iPhone galleries is that they added the most important feature which is the “Recently Deleted” folder. It can be both helpful and annoying at times but nonetheless, you cannot disregard its importance during data loss. We know that media files like photos and videos can take up too much space on the device and you need to delete them from the iPad every now and then. However, if you might have deleted a picture off your gallery then you can still recover deleted photos from iPad using the Recently Deleted folder. But how does this folder work? The recently Deleted folder will store all the deleted media files like photos and videos on the iPad and iPhone. All the deleted files stay in there for about 30 days and they will be permanently deleted automatically and this process is irreversible.
