    Hello @Nagendrra C !

    Thank you for raising the question.

    As per https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-soft-delete#undelete-blobs:

    "Storage Explorer can undelete soft-deleted blobs recursively and in batches.

    To undelete blobs, select the soft-deleted blobs you want to undelete and use the Undelete → Undelete Selected from the toolbar or the context menu.

    You can also undelete blobs recursively under a directory. If an active directory is included in the selection, Storage Explorer will undelete all the soft-deleted blobs or directories in it."

    You can refer to the following guide to understand more about how to use Azure Storage Explorer soft delete guide, including how to perform undelete operation: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-soft-delete

    Please note that this would require soft delete feature. More information:
