Hi @MPSingh ,please verify the related disk(s) of the deleted VM are deleted as well.

In the Azure Portal navigate to the Disks: Azure | Storage center | Azure Disks

Check if the disk of the deleted VM is still available in the list.

If yes you can attach the disk to another VM and recover/restore the folder.

If the disk of the deleted VM is not listed the disk is deleted as well and the data on the disk can't be restored without an earlier created backup.
