When a file has been deleted and you want it back, go to the cloud storage system where you store your files, and try to recover it there.

OneDrive: Restore files from your OneDrive recycle bin

Dropbox: How to recover or restore deleted files in Dropbox 

Google Drive: Find or recover a file in Google Drive
