It is more art then science. Easiest is if you know the precise title. If story was "Suck my dick" enter this in the Wayback searchbox: www.literotica.com/s/suck-my-dick
Caveat: It sometimes isn't obvious, but if the true title of the Lit story was unoriginal, it will have gotten a number most readers will not have noticed. If this story was the third one with the same title submitted to Lit, its true URL is probably www.literotica.com/s/suck-my-dick-3

It's not a search engine. You have to know the URL to the old story page, or some additional metadata.
If you know the author, you can use wayback machine to pull up an old archived version of the author's story list page, and find the link to an old, deleted story from there.
Or if you knew the story's tags, you could do that too.
Or if you knew the exact date it was published, they might have archived that day's new stories on the category pages.
