I accidentally deleted a story on iPhone?

I have these periods where I love writing, and then periods where I don't, this is an on period. The stories I wrote are usually fanfiction, I had a story around 10,000 words. I had just finished it, and I went to copy and paste it with another note, I ****** up and accidentally deleted it.

I know it's not actually a question, but I'm so upset. I had just *finished*, and now I'll have to start over.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I hate when this happens. It's happened to me twice, but it was only about 2,000 words in. Other times I will lose a large paragraph that I worked on for ages. I'm sure there's a way to get your work back though

There's an undo button on the iPhone, in case you weren't aware.

Next time back it up. Even if you transfer it to your computer. Back it up to a jump and keep it simple.
