Recover deleted files from container of storage account.

Question

Is there any way that I can recover deleted files from the container.

Answer 1

Hi Ali Avais - Thanks for reaching out over Q&A Forum.

If you have soft delete feature enabled and the data deleted is within the retention, you can recover it from your side.

If soft delete isn't enabled, then you can reach out to the support team further to check on the feasibility of the same.

Hope that helps!

Please let me know if there are any further queries/concerns, will be glad to assist.

@Ali Avais Checking in if the answer above helped. You could follow the steps below if you had soft-delete feature enabled.
Navigate to the Azure Portal:-Go to your storage account and select the container where the files were deleted.
-In the container, toggle the Show deleted blobs setting. This will display the soft-deleted blobs with a status of “Deleted”.
-Select the deleted blob you want to restore. In the blob’s properties, click the Undelete button. This will restore the blob to its state at the time of deletion.

Let me know if you are still stuck and I can help. Thanks.
