disappearing files from azure data lake gen 1

Recently see that files that were stored in data lake gen 1 folders which are created every month are disappearing.

Last weeks files were there and now I can only see files from the 20th Jan 2023.

Almost all of my files from 2022 are missing. Strangely, there is 1 file with a similar filename reversals_yyyyMMdd that is still there in each folder but all other files are missing.

Looks like some config change has auto delete turned on after a week.

Would greatly appreciate any help on this?

    Hello @CW , Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform. As we understand the ask here is to find out if there is any setting in the portal which will delete the files, please do let us know if it's not accurate.

    I will start the check at "Data protection option " on the portal.
