How to recover a deleted disk/VM?

I just accidentally deleted a VM along with its disk and IP. I was under the impression I was deleting a different VM.

Luckily it wasn't a full fledged production server but still I had some important data which I want to recover. So I want the data back as soon as possible. How can I recover the VM and/or the disk?

Any help is highly appreciated!

    Hello Bhavya Patel,

    I totally understand your concern.

    If the VM, its disk, and IP were deleted, recovery is only possible if backups or recovery points were configured. Without them, restoration isn’t feasible. Deleting the VM along with its OS disk makes recovery impossible.

    If you have any further queries, do let us know.
