Unable to Recover Desktop Files from iCloud - Not in Recently Deleted

Unable to Recover Desktop Files from iCloud - Not in Recently Deleted


I am experiencing an issue with recovering files from my iCloud folder Desktop. The files are missing and do not appear in the Recently Deleted folder.


Details:

- Affected service: iCloud Drive (Desktop folder)

- Problem: Files on Desktop synced via iCloud cannot be restored; they are not visible in Recently Deleted.

- Device/OS: MacBook Pro with Tahoe OS


I've tried:

- Checking the Recently Deleted section in iCloud.com and Finder.

- Searching via Spotlight and iCloud web interface.

- Signing out/in of iCloud.


Could you please assist in recovering these files or advise on next steps?
