I have one snapshot already and I create another one. I accidentally delete the older snapshot that I need to restore it to my droplet. How can I recover my deleted snapshot?

Once a snapshot is deleted, it’s not recoverable as far as I’m aware – the same for backups. You may want to get in touch with support via ticket through the Dashboard to see if they can possibly assist, though generally, once you delete it, it’s gone.
