Deleted Zoom cloud recordings stay in Zoom Trash for 30 days after deletion. You can recover (undelete) them during those 30 days.

When you delete a Zoom cloud recording, or when it is deleted as per Zoom Cloud Recording Retention, it goes to the Zoom cloud Trash for 30 days before permanent deletion (note: This only applies to cloud, not local, recordings). You can recover (undelete) cloud recordings during those 30 days. Zoom will send you an email notification 7 days before the recording is permanently deleted.

If you recover a cloud recording deleted as per Zoom Cloud Recording Retention, recovering will make the recording available for download for only 24 hours.
