Recover accidentally deleted files from iCloud Is there a way to recover files deleted from iCloud if an offline iPad still has them locally?

Would renaming the local files on the iPad prevent them from being deleted once the iPad is synced?
You could simply login to iCloud.com to recover that file. Under iCloud Settings (by clicking your name in the top-right corner) you will find a section named Advanced. Simply click Restore Files under Advanced to open the Recently Deleted File browser.
