iPad Tash Can - How to Recover Deleted Files on iPad?

Part 1: Is There a Trash Can App on iPad?

Normally, when you delete a file on your computer, it is sent to the recycle bin or the trash bin. Unless you empty the bin, you can recover the data at any time. This is great because when you accidentally delete your data, you don't need any special software to help you get it back, simply open the recycle bin and recover the data.

Unfortunately, the iPad doesn't come with the same functionality. This means that any data you delete on your iPad, whether accidentally or otherwise, will be lost completely unless you have a powerful data recovery tool to help.

Part 2: What to Do When you Accidentally Delete Something Important?

If you have accidentally deleted an important file on your iPad, don't worry. We are going to show you how you can easily get it back in a little while. In the meantime, there are a few things you should keep in mind when you notice that essential data is missing from your device.

Firstly, stop using the iPad immediately. This is because the more new files you save on your device, the higher the chance that you will overwrite the missing data and make it more difficult to recover the data. It is also a very good idea to recover the data using a data recovery tool as soon as you can. This will increase your chances of being able to quickly recover the data.
