Many reasons may result in video loss from your iPad. When you experience the nightmare, you may ask yourself whether it is possible to find the videos back. Yes, you can get the deleted videos back as long as you use the correct method and before new data overwrite them.
Where do deleted videos go on iPad?
Some articles may tell you that the accidentally deleted videos will go to the Trash or Recycle bin so that you can restore them from there. iPad does not work that way. There is no Trash or Recycle bin on the iPad, but there is a similar feature called the Recently Deleted folder, which works like a Trash bin but only keeps the deleted data for up to 30 days.
Therefore, if you delete the videos for more than 30 days or manually clear this folder, the deleted videos will go forever from your iPad. Nevertheless, you can try to use a professional iPad Video Recovery app to recover them.
What do you need to do when losing videos?
When losing videos from your iPad, you'd better stop using your iPad, turn off the Wi-Fi and cellular data, and power it off to avoid creating any new files. In doing so, you will prevent the new files from completely overwriting the deleted videos.

If you have backed up your iPad to a computer via iTunes, the iTunes backup may include the deleted videos. You can restore the deleted videos to your iPad from the iTunes backup file. However, you cannot preview the backup file, and it often overwrites the existing data on your iPad.
If you don't mind data loss, you can begin with the steps below.
How do I recover permanently deleted videos from my iPad via iTunes backup?
1. Launch the latest version of iTunes and connect your iPad to the computer with a USB cable. For macOS X 10.15 or later users, you can open Finder.
2. Tap Trust on your iPad to authorize this computer. When it appears in the iTunes window, click the iPad icon, choose Restore Backup under the Summary tab, and select the most relevant backup file.
3. Hit Restore to start restoring the backup file to your iPad.
You may also regularly back up your iPad to iCloud. In this case, you can restore the deleted videos from the iCloud backup. But this way will erase all the existing data on your iPad, which means data loss. Thus, think twice before choosing this way.
How to retrieve deleted videos from my iPad with iCloud backup?
1. Go to iPad's Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Data and Settings and follow the on-screen instructions to erase your iPad.
2. The iPad will automatically reset. When you reach the App & Data screen, tap the Restore from iCloud Backup option and sign in with your Apple ID.
3. Select the backup file which contains the lost videos and wait until the restoring process is over.
Although all four methods can recover deleted videos from the iPad, you can easily see the difference between them. The iPad Video Recovery app can help you recover the deleted videos from your iPad without backup or restore the videos from your iTunes or iCloud backup. Whereas the iTunes/iCloud backup only gets the deleted videos back when there is a previous backup file, let alone the data loss it causes to your iPad.
Meanwhile, the Recently Deleted folder is not a practical solution since it only keeps the deleted files for specific days. By comparison, you will find iPad Video Recovery includes all the features you want and is the best choice for you. So, I will highly recommend it to you.
