Try checking Instagram on a diff device. Sometimes messages show up on one device but not another. Weird, but it happens.
A low-key way to retrieve direct messages is by asking the person you were chatting with to send you screenshots or copy-paste the convo. It might be a bit awkward, but it works in a pinch!
Honestly, once they are gone, they are gone. Just start fresh and don't sweat it.
