    You can recover apps or flows deleted only via PowerShell.
    Powerapps:
    To list apps deleted in an environment:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powerapps.administration.powershell/get-admindeletedpowerappslist?view=pa-ps-latest

    To recover app deleted by guid:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powerapps.administration.powershell/get-adminrecoverdeletedpowerapp?view=pa-ps-latest

     

    Power Automate:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/how-tos-restore-deleted-flow#restore-deleted-flows-with-powershell

     

    The retention period is de 28 days. It's not possible restored a app or flow deleted more that 28 days.
