Created a funny TikTok that I deleted thinking it was bad, but friends loved the idea. How to see recently deleted TikToks to recover and repost?
Oh, no, that’s the worst feeling when you regret deleting something! Happens to the best of us, especially with creative content.
Good news! TikTok actually has a “Recently Deleted” feature for videos you’ve posted and then deleted, and it keeps them for up to 30 days before they’re gone for good.
Here’s how to check:
- Go to your Profile.
- Tap the three lines/dots (hamburger menu) in the top right corner.
- Select “Settings and privacy.”
- Scroll down and tap “Activity Center.”
- Look for “Recently Deleted” and tap on it.
- If your video is there, you should be able to restore it!
Hope you can get that funny TikTok back – sounds like a winner!
Hey ContentCreator30!
Good news - TikTok actually has a built-in “Recently Deleted” feature that keeps your deleted videos for up to 30 days before they’re permanently gone. To access it:
- Open TikTok and go to your profile
- Tap the three lines (≡) in the top right corner
- Go to “Settings and privacy”
- Scroll down to “Content & Activity”
- Look for “Recently deleted”
- Find your video and hit “Restore”
I’ve had similar moments where I second-guessed my content only to regret deleting it later. Trust your creative instincts! Sometimes the videos we’re most unsure about end up connecting with people in unexpected ways.
If it’s been more than 30 days though, I’m afraid that video has gone to the great TikTok graveyard in the sky.
Hope this helps you recover that funny creation!
