    Hi EricPJ,

    Thank you for querying in this forum.

    From your description, it seems that you have deleted a slide accidently from a saved PowerPoint file and you want to recover that slide.

    If my understanding is right, for the situation you encountered, we do understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it, and we will also provide some suggestions below and hope that will help you:

    1. If you have not closed that PowerPoint file after deleting slide, you can click Undo button to undo your action.
    2. If you saved this PowerPoint file in OneDrive for business, you can refer to this article to restore older versions of your files stored in OneDrive for business. For your reference: Restore a previous version of a file stored in OneDrive

    If you saved your file on the local and have closed the file after deleting the slide, we’re afraid that you may not recover that slide. We also understand that you want to recover that slide, however, on the local, we don’t have such option to recover a deleted slide in PowerPoint. And to avoid such situation in the further, we’d suggest you save your file in OneDrive for business, and you can check version history of file in OneDrive and restore specific version you want.

    Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated. I hope that you are keeping safe and well!

    Best Regards,

    Sukie
