    Hello @Rakshith M L

    Thanks for using Q and A forum

    Unfortunately, once you have deleted a disk it can't be undeleted. if the disk was backed up using Azure Backup you can restore it, or if you have a snapshot of the disk you could use that to create a copy of the disk

    Step 1: Understand Azure Disk Deletion

    When a disk is deleted in Azure, it is permanently removed from the resource group. If backup was not enabled

    Step 2: Azure has a feature called "soft delete" resources. Check if this feature for your disks. If it was, you can restore the disk from the soft delete state.

    Final Answer

    If backup was not enabled and soft delete was not active, recovering deleted disks is generally not possible. Check the Activity Log and consider contacting Azure Support for further assistance
