In summary, it is not guaranteed that you will be able to recover a deleted post without a backup. Most social media platforms have a limited time frame for post recovery, and it may not be possible to recover a post from your email or messaging app, depending on their policies. If someone else shared your post before you deleted it, it may still be visible on their account, but it may not be possible to recover it. In some cases, a deleted post may still be visible on a website or forum through a cached version, but this is not always guaranteed.

I deleted a post of my own in a dumb mistake today. Complex post so not having exact copy would be work to reconstitute. Is there a way to recover a deleted post?
