Losing favorite music files from your iQOO phone can be frustrating, whether it's due to accidental deletion, system glitches, or mistaken formatting. Fortunately, iQOO devices (powered by Funtouch OS) offer multiple recovery paths, ranging from built-in features to professional tools.
This article focuses on the most practical and effective methods to recover deleted music files from iQOO phone, covering quick built-in solutions, cloud backup restoration, and a trusted third-party software. Whether you have a backup or not, you'll find a step-by-step solution here to get your music back.
Many Android phones, including iQOO devices, feature a recently deleted or trash folder. When you delete files like music, they often aren't immediately removed from your device but are instead moved to a temporary folder. These files remain there for a certain period (usually 30 days) before they are permanently deleted.
Steps to recover deleted music files from the trash folder:
Step 1. Go to the folder where your music files were originally stored.
Step 2. This folder may be found within your file manager or music app (if supported). For music apps like Google Play Music or iQOO's default music app, check the trash or recently deleted section.
Step 3. Select the music files you want to restore and click on the option to recover them. This action will restore the files back to their original location.
iQOO is a subsidiary of BBK Electronics, so it seamlessly integrates with vivo Cloud (the official cloud service for vivo and iQOO devices). Additionally, if you use a Google account, you can leverage Google Drive/Google Backup to restore music files. This method is ideal if you enabled cloud backup before deleting the music.
Step 1. Open your iQOO phone's "Settings" app, scroll down to find "vivo Cloud" (or "Cloud and Account" on some models). Log in with your vivo account (the one you used to enable backup).
Step 2. Once logged in, tap "My Cloud Disk" to browse all files stored in the cloud. If you enabled "Auto Backup" for music, your deleted files may still be in the cloud disk.
Step 3. If the music files are in "My Cloud Disk", select them and tap "Download" to save them back to your phone's internal storage.
Step 4. If the files were deleted from the cloud disk, go to "Settings" > "Recycle Bin" > "Cloud Disk" (within the vivo Cloud app), select the music files, tap "Recover" to restore them to the cloud disk first, then download them to your phone.
Note: To avoid data loss later, go to "vivo Cloud > Auto Backup" and toggle on "Music" (along with other important file types) to automatically sync music to the cloud.
Restore from Google Drive:
Step 1. Open the Google Drive app on your iQOO phone (or visit drive.google.com on a computer). Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper left corner, then select "Trash".
Step 2. Look for the deleted music files (they may be in the "Audio" folder or listed by name). Select the files, tap the three-dot icon, and choose "Restore" to move them back to your Google Drive storage. Then download them to your phone.
Restore from Full Google Backup:
Step 1. If you backed up your entire phone (including music) via Google Backup, you'll need to factory reset your iQOO first (this erases all current data).
Step 2. After resetting, during the initial phone setup, log in to your Google account. When prompted, select the latest backup that contains your music files, and follow the on-screen instructions to restore the backup, this will recover the music along with other backed-up data.

This software specializes in Android data recovery, supporting deep scanning of your iQOO phone's internal storage and SD card (if used) to recover deleted music, photos, messages, and more, even without root access.
