How do I recover deleted data in Google Workspace?

If you accidentally delete data in Google Workspace, you can often recover it using the following steps:

  1. Sign in to your Google Workspace account.
  2. Go to the Google Workspace service where the deleted data was located. For example, if you deleted an email, go to Gmail.
  3. In the left-hand menu, click on "Trash" or "Bin."
  4. Find the deleted item or items you want to recover. If you don't see them in the Trash, they may have been permanently deleted, and you won't be able to recover them.
  5. Check the box next to the item or items you want to recover.
  6. Click on "Move to" or "Restore" and choose the location where you want to restore the item or items. For example, if you're restoring an email, you might choose to move it back to your inbox.

If you're unable to find the deleted item in the Trash or Bin, you may be able to recover it using Google Vault (if it's enabled for your account). You can search for deleted data in Vault and restore it if it's still available. However, Google Vault is only available on certain Google Workspace plans, so be sure to check if it's included in your subscription.
