Last night at 11:28pm a bunch of my resources were deleted. I don't know how this happened. Log says I did it, but I wasn't working at 11 pm last night.

Regardless, I need to get my resources back. I'm changing password etc.

I've restored what I could, but I need to get my VMs back. I've lost those, and that's a huge amount to get back, especially the build machine.

    Hello @Doug Gerard ,

    I completely understand your concern regarding the situation; however, if the virtual machine (VM) along with its associated disk has been deleted, the possibility of recovery is strictly dependent on whether if you have any backup mechanisms in place, such as disk snapshots or recovery points, prior to VM deletion. These backups serve as the only means to restore the VM and its data.

    In the absence of such configurations, restoration unfortunately cannot be achieved, as deleting the VM together with its operating system disk eliminates all underlying data, making recovery technically impossible.
