Can you recover deleted iCloud backups?

The answer could be YES or NO, depending on how you removed the iCloud backup. If you deleted the entire iCloud backup, then it's not recoverable. But if you removed files and folders from iCloud, fortunately, you still have a chance to retrieve your lost files.

In any of these cases, remember one thing: using your device could make the situation worse, so you should stop using it immediately.

Now that you're aware of the situation, let's look at how to recover deleted iCloud backup.

How to Restore an Erased iCloud Backup

You can recover deleted data from iCloud Drive using one of three methods.

Method 1: Recover Deleted Files from iCloud Drive

iCloud Drive lets you recover data for up to 30 days after it's been deleted. If the deletion occurred within the last 30 days, you can recover your deleted information easily by following these steps.

Step 1. Go to icloud.com on your computer and sign in with your iCloud account.

Step 2. Choose “Settings.”

Step 3. Tap on “Recently Deleted” in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Step 4. Click on “Restore All” to restore all the deleted files. Or, you can choose individual files to restore.

Step 5: Click “Restore”.

Method 2: Recover Deleted Files from an App

Aside from the methods above, you can also use the new Data Recovery feature on iCloud.com to restore deleted notes, contacts, and calendars within 30 days. But you'll need to make sure that you had backups of Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, and Bookmarks turned on your iPhone before. Let's see how it's done.

Step 1: Go to iCloud.com and log in using your iCloud account.

Step 2: Choose Settings.

Step 3: Scroll down and tap on the “Restore Files” option.

Step 4. Check the box next to the file you want to recover.

Step 5: Click on Restore File(s).

Method 3: Recover Data from iCloud with iOS Data Recovery Tool

If both methods fail to retrieve your iCloud files, it means that they're no longer in your iCloud Drive. In this case, turning to third-party iPhone recovery tools would be your last resort. Thanks to the rapid development of IT in recent years, powerful and automatic iPhone data recovery programs are available. They have the ability to restore any lost, deleted, or formatted iPhone data, even if you accidentally removed an iCloud backup.

We recommend using the MobiSaver tool, which offers three modes for iPhone data recovery: directly from the iOS device, from an iTunes backup, and from an iCloud backup. Since you've already deleted your iCloud backup, you can try recovering directly from the iOS device.

Now you can download this program onto your computer and start the repair process.

Step 1: Choose "Restore from iCloud Backup"

Plug your iPhone into the computer and open the MobiSaver tool. Click “Recover from iCloud,” then click “Start.”
