Greetings,

Unfortunately you can't recover deleted data in Temporary storage.The temporary storage drive, labelled as the D: drive is not persisted and is not saved in the Windows Azure Blob storage.
It is used primarily for the page file and its performance is not guaranteed to be predictable. Management tasks such as a change to the virtual machine size/shutdown and restart/VM fails to different host server resets the D: drive.
The D: drive is not recommended for storing any user or system database files. you can attach and use data disks(persistent storage) for additional storage requirement.
