Hi,
There is no traditional trash can or trash folder on an iPhone.
Certain apps may have a trash option or a recently deleted folder or group, like the Mail App, Notes, Photos etc...
What exactly did you delete?
If it was within an App, look for a recently deleted section within the App.
For example in the Files app, if you delete a file, it will appear in the "Recently Deleted" folder under Locations.

There is an email trash folder but for photos, messages, notes, files etc., there will be a Recently Deleted folder. What are you deleting you're looking to find a trash folder for?
