Most platforms and editing applications have a safety net for deleted files. If the video disappeared from a platform like YouTube or Vimeo, check whether it has a "Trash" or "Recently Deleted" section; items typically stay there for about 30 days and can be restored. If you were editing a project in software like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro and the media went offline, open your project’s autosave or backup folder and relink the original media file. In both cases, the file is only permanently removed if you empty the trash or purge backups. If you can’t locate a backup, you may need to contact the service’s support team or use file‑recovery software to scan your drive. The best prevention is to keep separate backups of your original media on an external drive or cloud storage.
