    Hello

    I’m Adeyemi and I’d be happy to help you with your question.

    In Microsoft Teams, when a file is deleted, it's moved to the SharePoint site's Recycle Bin where it can be restored. Here's how you can check if a file was deleted and restore it:

    1. Open the channel's Files tab and select Open in SharePoint at the top of the page
    2. In SharePoint, select Recycle bin on the left side of the page. This will show a list of all files deleted from every channel in the team
    3. Look for your file in this list. If it's there, that means it was deleted.
    4. To restore the file, select it and then select Restore at the top of the page

    Please note that files are kept in the Recycle Bin for 93 days. After that, they are permanently deleted https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/delete-and-recover-files-in-microsoft-teams-a591d771-89a6-49e2-ab7e-271936fe3c4e.

    I hope this helps
