1. Restore Deleted Audio Files on Android from Google Drive

Just like iCloud for iPhone users, Android phones also have a built-in backup feature that can be used to backup or sync all of your precious data in the Google Drive.

So, if you had previously enabled the backup feature on your phone or synced all of your files with Google Drive, then there is a good chance that your deleted audio files are still present in the backup and can be easily restored.
