Hello mrcattleman!

I'm sorry you accientally deleted some important messages. I know how aggravating that can be! I'm sorry to let you know that call logs and messages are deleted from the cloud when deleted from your phone, but all other content is always kept in the cloud. Unfortunately, the messages won't be in the Cloud if deleted from the handset manually. Here's a link w/the Cloud information: http://vz.to/1u0yL81

Thanks,
