Hi @Sandeep ,

To recover a deleted Log Analytics workspace, you can follow these steps:

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. In the Azure portal, select All services. In the list of resources, enter Log Analytics. As you begin typing, the list filters based on your input. Select Log Analytics workspaces. You see the list of workspaces you have in the selected scope.
3. Select Open Recycle Bin on the top menu to open a page with workspaces in a soft-delete state that can be recovered.
4. Select the workspace you want to recover. Then select Recover to recover the workspace.

If your workspace was deleted as part of a resource group delete operation, you must first re-create the resource group with the same name.

Note that you must have Contributor permissions to the subscription and resource group where the workspace was located before the soft-delete operation. The workspace recovery is performed by re-creating the Log Analytics workspace with the details of the deleted workspace, including Subscription ID, Resource group name, Workspace name, and Region.

For detailed instructions, please refer below Azure documentation:

• Delete and recover an Azure Log Analytics workspace

Even after trying out above suggestions if you are not able to recover the workspace then reach out to Azure Support by raising a technical support ticket as instructed here.
