Recovering a deleted Pages document not in Trash

I accidentally deleted a document from pages, and I was wondering if I can recover it. I have tried the trash and it is not there.

If you deleted the Pages document from your internal drive, and unless you have it stored elsewhere, then your only recourse is to restore it from a Time Machine backup. Without a backup, it is gone forever.


If you deleted the Pages document from iCloud, then Apple provides a 30-day sliding window in which you can restore the document. See: Recover deleted files on iCloud.com - Apple Support
