Hello,
Generally, recordings go the either the local hard drive or the Zoom cloud.
This support article will explain how to look for a local recording;

If you recorded to the cloud as host and then stopped having a licensed account the file may be trapped in the cloud. Zoom Cloud recordings can be sometimes be accessed again if you pay for a pro account again. If you were not host, then a cloud recording goes to the cloud hosting of the person who scheduled the meeting.
Note: Typically, you can recover deleted cloud recordings within 30 days of deletion. However, there are several settings that can affect this recovery period.

If you plan on having short term Zoom paid accounts in the future I suggest that you download any Zoom recordings you need before the account is cancelled or expires.
Regards
