unretrieved
Never brought back
Unretrieved describes something that has not been gotten back or recovered.
An unretrieved ball remains where it landed.
Unretrieved data stays lost in a crashed system.
The word often carries a note of incompleteness or failure—what should have been fetched wasn't: The unretrieved memories haunted him.
