How to recover files from Azure Storage

Hello,

I have some weird situation here.

Many files from our storage disappeared quite sudden. It might be some wordpress plugin, not sure.

The major problem we have now is that we don't have a backup of the Uploads folder as we did not activate it (ashame, I know).

Is there any way to recover them?

Thank you,

Stefan

    That sounds really frustrating. I am assuming that you are using Blob storage, please let me know if that is not correct.

    If you have enabled soft delete for your Blob storage, you can recover deleted files during the retention period. Soft delete maintains the deleted data in the system for a specified period of time, allowing you to restore the blob to its state at deletion. Please check if this is enabled for your storage account.

    If you haven't enabled soft delete, unfortunately, there is no built-in way to recover deleted files.
