Welcome to the Apple Community.
Do you have a back up taken prior to deleting them.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.
ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
under accts, select add account
select "other"
new screen, choose "add mail account"
now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
hit next
then the acct verifies
when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone. The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option. -

Help.I uninstalled ios8 using the directions on the web site and now all my apps,mail are gone.I backed up to iTunes first but when I try to sync to get everything back,it starts and then says it has failed.What do I do now.Thanks.Jane
The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone. -
I stop past email addresses I have sent to going in to my contacts?
I delete them from my contact and they reappear.
ThanksThey're probably in Mail's previous recipients window. Click the Window menu, then Previous Recipients. You can search for and delete addresses from here.

How do i avoid from photos getting deleted that were stored in iCloud photo library when i delete them from my iphone?
You can't delete it from your purchased list, as that is permanently maintained by the iTunes store. You can, however, prevent it from appearing in your song list by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning off Music under Show All.

i havent backed it up on computer or icloud i synced it with my macbook and accidently deleted them all off my macbook and now its gone of my phone!! help me
You'll have to restore them from the most recent backup you made before you deleted them.
When computers and iOS devices are "synced" together, whatever you do on one device is synced to the others. You deleting them off your Dads phone made the same occur on your phone. That's how it is supposed to work. -
I am having a problem with email. I can receive and send, but when I delete, the deleted messages return into either Trash or Bin or both whether or not I have deleted them from my PC.
The only way I can get rid of them permanently, is to go into my area of my providers site(Sky) and empty all of the boxes there. I imagine it's a setting, please advise.For IMAP mail only.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>tap on mail account>Archieve Messages>OFF -

Emails are not being deleted form iCloud when I delete them from Mail
I am having trouble with not being deleted on the iCloud server when I delete them on my Mac. If I delete them from iCloud they disappear from my Mac but if I delete from my Mac they stay on iCoud and then reappear on Mac.
On both iCloud and Mac I have preferances set to move deleted messages to the trash.
any help would be appreciated.
KenYou don't need to delete photos from your camera roll to save on backup sizes, you can turn individual items on and off for back up in your iCloud back up settings.
Apple States that the last 3 back ups are accessible, which means the photos from your back up may not be removed immediately.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Why aren't my emails being automatically deleted from my ipad when I delete them from my iPhone
Is there a setting that I have to program on my mini ipad so when I delete an email on my iPhone it automatically deletes it from my mini ipad?
If you have an IMAP email account the actions should be synchronized across all devices, phone iPad and computer.
If you have a POP account try Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Advanced>Delete from Server>When removed from inbox. -
When manually syncing music from my Mac to my ipod, if I delete from my list and hit apply, the songs are remaining on my ipod? It just started doing this.
You need to select the songs on the iPod (in iTunes) and hit Delete.
Since you are Manually managing, Apply doesn't do anything to Music on the iPod. -
Is it possible to delete Outlook emails when I delete them from my iPhone 4?
I use Outlook 2002 on my PC with Road Runner as my carrier. Is there a way to set my email account up so that when I delete an email from my iPhone that it will delete it from Outlook? This worked on my Blackberry but won't work on my iPhone.
If they support IMAP, make sure both outlook and the iPhone are configured to use it. This will completely synchronize both devices. Messages deleted on one will be deleted on all (including the server). Same goes for filing messages in folders.
