  Yes, you can, but posts remain in your trash for only 30 days before they are permanently deleted.

  a Word document

  If you are referring to the WORD doc then once you permanently delete it and it is no longer found in your Media Library ie. on WordPress.com servers, then you have to upload it again.

  @futureswitch

  Note that unlike posts, pages, and comments, deletions from your media library are permanent and will not be moved to a trash folder.

  You’re welcome. Also note that the servers here are flushed about every 3 days or so.
