I've already recorded the meeting in the zoom but accidentally deleted it permanently from trash. Can I recover it? I really need the video

Hi Bedah - Welcome to the Zoom Community. Unfortunately, once a recording is permanently deleted from the Zoom trash, there's really no way to get it back from within the platform. Zoom doesn't keep a secondary backup after a permanent deletion, so unfortunately that door is closed on our end.

You might want to try to reach out to Zoom Support and submit a ticket. Though recovery isn't guaranteed, but it's definitely worth a try!

Hi ​@Bedah Manado 

If you delete a recording, it should stay in the deleted box for 30 days and you can recover it there.

 

All the best

I also (accidentally) deleted it from trash. Can I recover it?
