Question

A colleague accidentally deleted a critical report from a Power BI workspace in the past hour. The report is not in a deployment pipeline, and no PBIX backup exists locally. You are a workspace admin and need to recover the report as quickly as possible. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Restore the deleted report from the workspace Recycle bin, which retains deleted items for a limited retention period

Answer

Use the workspace 'Restore this workspace' option from the admin portal to roll back all recent changes

Answer

Contact the person who deleted the item and ask them to re-publish it, since deleted items cannot be recovered by any means

Answer

Open a Microsoft support ticket, as report deletion is permanent and irreversible in the Power BI service
