Morphology

undeleted = deleted (transparent) = un + delete + ed

The word 'undeleted' is transparently derived from 'deleted' with the prefix 'un-' indicating negation.

Etymology

The word undeleted is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and the verb delete meaning 'to remove' or 'to wipe out'. So something undeleted is 'not removed' and is still present, for example a file that has not been erased from a computer.
