    Hello @Muhammad Osama Shahzad ,

    I completely understand your concern regarding the situation;

    however, if the virtual machine (VM) along with its associated disk has been deleted, the possibility of recovery is strictly dependent on whether any backup mechanisms, such as disk snapshots or recovery points, were previously configured.

    These backups serve as the only means to restore the VM and its data. In the absence of such configurations, restoration unfortunately cannot be achieved, as deleting the VM together with its operating system disk eliminates all underlying data, making recovery technically impossible.

     

    If you need any further assistance do let us know!!
