Just open your GoPro Plus account either through GoPro mobile app, Quik for desktop or in browser via gopro.com.
You can view and restore the deleted videos from there. GoPro Plus works on Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows PC. If you maintain your own backup folder on local drive, check there for the lost GoPro videos.
