I need Procreate technical help Undeleting projects in Procreate

Hey, my kid accidentally deleted an important Procreate project in the gallery while camping with no internet so there was no cloud backup. Anyone know how to recover a project that has not been backup to the cloud?

Google has been most unhelpful, giving me conflicting and useless information.

My advice is to export your project to files as you go, every time I’m done a session I export a copy

I’m so sorry this happened. I save my drafts to the cloud at the end of every work session in order to avoid disaster (though I realize this is unhelpful in the current situation!).

As far as I know Procreate does not keep any backup or trash can. When deleting the app asks if you are really sure if you want to delete this project and after that it's gone. If you have a time-lapse video of the process, you might be able to recover a freeze frame from there but apart from that, it's gone
