What caused it? There are several reasons for this, but the two most common reasons are because the video violates TikTok’s rules or the user deletes the video, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Can you restore deleted videos on TikTok?
Unfortunately, once you delete a video on TikTok, there is no way to restore it through the application.

- Open TikTok.
- Press the plus button to open the camera, and create a short clip.
- Click check, then ‘Next.’
- Scroll down and tap ‘More options.’
- Make sure the ‘Save to device’ option is enabled.
This method will help you when you have deleted a video on TikTok and want to restore it, so that you still have content that you can re-upload to the application.
