Google Drive bin (also known as trash, drive recycle bin) items will be permanently deleted automatically after 30 days starting on October 13, 2020.
There is no impact to Backup (like WhatsApp) and Sync behavior.
Recover permanently deleted file & folders from Google drive even after 30 days of deletion.
In case, you deleted accidentally or intentionally you still have chance to recover them. Right you read it right.
First you need logged in using affected Google Drive account.
You should visit to
Request to recover permanently deleted file Google Drive
.
Enter your name & select issue ➔ Missing or deleted files.
You have to give the details like file-folder name to recover files. Optionally, you can give details about approximate date of deletion, file type, etc.
Don't enter any confidential details like email address/user name, mobile number, etc.
Remember, Google received tons of such request. Your request may delay some time.
Done..!
