Recover deleted recordings on a basic account?

Hi there, 

I'm guessing there isn't a way to help me here, but I thought I would try it. I deleted the wrong recording on my zoom, and it said it would be permanently deleted from my computer. Is there a way to recover it from the Zoom webpage? I have seen ways to recover with the Pro account, but I only have the Basic account. I figure there's no way to recover it, but I just thought I would try. 

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Hello,

 

If you recorded locally ( on your desktop ) and deleted it only via web, the recording will be continue to be on your desktop. Please check this article for steps to access your recordings locally:

In the navigation menu, click Recordings. At the top right, you will see a Trash icon if there are any cloud recordings in the trash. Click the icon to see any deleted cloud recordings. Click Recover on the right to retrieve the recording.
