How to retrieve deleted projects on Project for the web?

[rel1122]

Hi,

If my project is deleted on the Project for the web, is there any way to retrieve it? If not, any suggestions on how to back up?

rel1122 -- When you delete a project in Project for the Web, there is no Undo operation to restore the deleted project, nor is there a Recycle Bin from which to restore the project. The only way to restore it is from a Dataverse backup. Refer to the Backups section of the following article to learn about how to back up Dataverse data:

https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/backups.html

Hope this helps.

Hello @rel1122 ,

Unfortunately there is no easy way to recover this and potentially if you are in the Default Dataverse environment then there is no back up available: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/environments-overview#the-default-environment 

If you have deployed Project for the web into a Production or Sandbox environment then you can back up and restore: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/backup-restore-environments 

Project for the web by default is deployed to the Default environment so if you have the default deployment then unfortunately there is no back up that I am aware of.
