I installed iOS 10 onto my iPhone 6 Plus at around 8pm last night (German time).

This morning I noticed that my iCloud Drive was empty.

I'm now following the instructions here to recover the deleted files (all with timestamps showing deleted at the same time as the iOS 10 install was taking place).

Worth noting that the Restore Files interface is a complete POS. I have over 900 files to recover and if I select them all and press "Restore", it thinks for a few minutes before saying the operation failed try again later.

If I try to recover a single file, it sometimes tells me that operation failed "try again later", then if I try exactly the same thing again it suddenly works! Could be a long day...

Can't believe I pay for this service!
