Blob Storage: Recovering Data After Accidental Deletion in East US Region
Problem description
I am seeking assistance with recovering data from two Azure Blob Storage containers in the East US region. The containers are still present but are empty, and I believe the data was deleted between 2026-05-14 and 2026-05-26. My goal is to recover the historical data that was stored in these containers.
Environment
Azure Blob Storage account in East US, with two affected containers and a lifecycle management rule that deletes blobs older than 7 days.
What I've already tried
I have limited information on troubleshooting steps taken. I submitted a recovery request specifying the deletion window and the container names. I have checked the containers' current state and reviewed the lifecycle management rule. No additional recovery actions or diagnostic tests have been documented.
Current status
Currently, I am requesting escalation to a support engineer and the Azure Storage product group to determine if any copies of the data still exist at the platform level. I am willing to consider any recovery service, even at a high cost. If recovery is impossible, I would like confirmation of the cause and details of the deletion process.
