Resource group deleted

Question

hi ,
By accidently deleted Resource group in Azure, is there any options to restore ?

Answer 1

Hi @Jagadish V ,

a deleted Resource Group can't be restored.

But you can restore other Azure object if you have configured a backup for these resources. For instance Azure VMs can be restored from an existing backup. Same is for AQL databases, Storage Accounts and other Azure resources.

It is a good practice to use resource delete locks in Azure to prevent deletion by accident: Lock your Azure resources to protect your infrastructure

Answer 2

A deleted Azure resource group can't be restored. Resource group deletion is irreversible.

However, some individual resources that were in the deleted resource group might be recoverable if they support soft delete or backup-based restore (for example, certain Azure Backup items, Key Vault objects, Storage blobs, Cosmos DB, or databases with backup retention). Recovery depends on each resource type’s own soft delete or backup configuration and retention period.

If a specific resource (such as a VM’s disks, a database, or a key) needs to be recovered, check that resource’s soft delete/backup documentation or open an Azure support case and provide the resource IDs, names, and types so support can investigate whether recovery is possible.
