Can I Recover Some Important Files Deleted along with the Developer Account?

Question

Hi. I hope this message finds you well. I've been trying to utilize Microsoft's Developer Program but unfortunately, didn't get enough time to invest due to academic pressure. Because of this inactivity, my subscription has been revoked and after a while, all the user data has been deleted. I missed the warning email regarding this as well. Mistakenly, I've saved some important files in the OneDrive of the associated account instead of saving them in my local machine or personal account's cloud. These files related to my academic thesis have been deleted. Is there any way to recover these files? All the users and data of my developer account were deleted on Jan 3, 2025. It'll be very helpful if these important files can be recovered.

Thanks

Hi @Shoaib

Has the subscription expired more than 60 days ago?

If so, I find this link "If my subscription is going to expire, how much time do I have before it is deleted?", I'm afraid it could not be restored, otherwise, Microsoft will explain the way to recover data here.

As your issue is more related to Microsoft 365 developer subscription, according to "Support resources", you may submit your issue on UserVoice forum.

Thanks for your understanding.
