    Hi @killoki , based on the mail the free subscription has been expired and the data and Azure components have been deleted 23th of March 2023. This means the data and the VM are gone, deleted, not existing anymore. Sorry to say. You can try to create a support request with Microsoft to see if they are able to restore the data, but no guarantee: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request The lessons learned should be: Never store important data in a test- or evaluation-infrastructure without backing up the data somewhere else.

    If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)
