Some users were deleted in Azure AD just over 30 days back. I went back to restore them but they are not in the deleted users list. Is there a way to get these users back?

    Hello @curious7 !

    See the official Link

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/users-restore

    After you delete a user, the account remains in a suspended state for 30 days. During that 30-day window, the user account can be restored, along with all its properties. After that 30-day window passes, the permanent deletion process is automatically started and can't be stopped. During this time, the management of soft-deleted users is blocked. This limitation also applies to restoring a soft-deleted user via a match during Tenant sync cycle for on-premises hybrid scenarios.

    You can view your restorable users, restore a deleted user, or permanently delete a user using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) in the Azure portal.

    Important

    Neither you nor Microsoft customer support can restore a permanently deleted user.

    I hope this helps!
