Is it possible to restore a dataflow that was deleted? I found the action in the audit log but I haven't been able to find anything that would allow me to get it back.

Hi, I know it may already be too late to recover a deleted report… 💔
But if you want to make sure this never happens again, you should definitely check this out 👇

Because “We thought Microsoft backed it up” is not a recovery strategy 😅
Just in case someone else sees @ianharper's post - Microsoft are declining to do this now.

Thanks, I reached out to Power BI Support and they confirmed this. Restoring dataflows is available to premium Power BI instances but not the regular PBI service.
Check out the May 2026 Power BI update to learn about new features.
