Why is it so hard to restore files you've deleted from your iPhone?
Ever since the first Apple Macintosh computer came out in 1984, it's been super easy to get back files you've deleted. All you need to do is look in the trash can. It was so easy Microsoft followed their lead when they put a Recycling Bin in Windows, but for some reason Apple dropped the ball when it comes to restoring files you've accidentally deleted from iCloud on an iPhone or iPad.
Even though iOS has an iCloud App, there is no functional equivalent of the Trash Can or Recycling Bin in it. The only way to get them back right now is from the iCloud website.
Steps:
1. Log into iCloud.Com, and look for a link at the top that says "iCloud Settings".
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom to find another link that says "Restore Files"
3. Scroll through the list of deleted files an use the checkbox to the file(s) you want to get back.
If you delete a file from your iPhone or iPad, you should have a simple option on the iCloud App to manage all your recently deleted files. Logging into a website to look for a hidden option to restore your files is just plain stupid, because the majority of people have no idea how to do it.
