How can I recover a droplet or the files inside that droplet?

Posted on July 25, 2019

By mistake a droplet was deleted and with them all the files of my program, is there a way to recover that droplet with its files?

Hi @annielaurie,

Oh no, that’s not good! Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a droplet that has been deleted :(

However, if you have snapshots of your droplet prior to it being deleted, you can create a new droplet from any of those!

Hope that helps. - Matt.
