A document saved inside diScanner is separate from copies exported to Files, Mail, Photos, or another app.

Checks to make

  1. Return to Documents. If selection mode is active, tap the checkmark-in-circle button to leave it.
  2. Look for the expected filename and compare update dates and page counts.
  3. Search the Files app and any cloud folder previously used for export.
  4. Check the destination app if the PDF was sent or saved there.
  5. If the item was deleted only from diScanner, restore from an exported or device backup when available.

What the result tells you

  • Deleting the in-app document does not necessarily delete exported copies.
  • Likewise, deleting an exported copy does not necessarily remove the source in diScanner.
  • Multi-document deletion requires selecting items, tapping the red Delete bar, and confirming Confirm Deletion.
  • Recovery is not guaranteed if no separate copy or backup exists.

Before trying again

  • Export important completed documents to a second location.
  • Use unique names to avoid confusing multiple versions.
