  If the post is available on your Trashed folder, you can recover it using this guide. https://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#restoring-from-trash

  If the post is permanently deleted (removed from trash folder too), you cannot recover it.

  Let me know how it goes. I doubt the staff will be able to do anything above this to help.

  I am afraid you cannot recover it if it’s not available on Trash either. This guide confirms it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/

  It says “Important: Once you choose to permanently delete an item from your Trash folder, there is no way to recover or restore it”

  Can you clarify what you mean when you say “re-updated”? It’s not possible to go a saved checkpoint if the post is deleted and removed from trash too.
