Hey @votekashifkhan,
The best thing to do in such a case is to restore your server from a backup/snapshot:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/images/snapshots/how-to/create-and-restore-droplets/
However, if you did not have backups enabled, the server might be lost. You could try to get in touch with the DigitalOcean support team and ask them if they have a backup by any chance but it is highly unlikely:
Hope that helps! - Bobby.
