How can I recover a deleted project?  
I exported the dataset previously.  
project = rf.workspace(“university-of-bahrain-g4ffg”).project(“yellow-box-junction-2”)  
version = project.version(1)  
dataset = version.download(“yolov8”)

Hello - unfortunately once you have deleted a project, we are unable to recover the data.

Hey @Fatima_Hassan

Trevor is correct here that project deletion is an irreversible action - its not possible to recover a project that’s been deleted.

With that said, if you have downloaded the dataset and have the exported dataset, you can upload that to a new project. If you made augmentations to the version you downloaded, its not recommended, but if you have no other source for your data it might be better than nothing.
