Soft delete for blobs capability for Azure Data Lake Storage is now in limited public preview
Published date: June 30, 2021
Soft delete for blobs capability for Azure Data Lake Storage protects files and directories from accidental deletes by retaining the deleted data in the system for a specified period of time. During the retention period, you can restore a soft-deleted object, file or directory, to its state at the time it was deleted. After the retention period has expired, the object is permanently deleted.
