I was working on a customized created Dataset, but suddenly it got Deleted. Is there a way to get back that dataset. Please Help.
Hi @graphs - I do not think you can restore a data set if it is deleted. By saying this, let’s hear from other experts.
Hi @David_Wong @Biswajit_1993 @sagmukhe @duncan @DylanM - Please advise on this.

Hello @graphs, I am sorry to be the one to give you the bad news, but unfortunately when the dataset has been deleted there is no way to retrieve it. Make sure anytime you are creating a new dataset to hit the “Save and Publish” button at the top of the screen. I also will often work on my SQL locally in a code editor that allows me to save as I go. This helps to store a backup version while also tracking any of my changes more easily.
I am sorry to hear about your lost time and efforts, but in moments like these it is just a way to get more practice building out your datasets at least. Good luck on your project!
There really should be a way to restore deleted assets in QuickSight — this is a fundamental feature in any robust system. Capabilities like backup, restore, copy, and archive are essential, especially when critical work can be lost due to something as simple as an accidental API call.
Given that QuickSight likely stores assets behind the scenes using services like S3, DynamoDB, or similar AWS infrastructure, it’s surprising (and a bit frustrating) that no recovery mechanism exists.
Since most posts on this topic are over a year old and there doesn’t seem to be an official solution yet, we’ve decided to build our own backup system. Once it’s ready, we plan to release it as open source — hopefully it’ll help others in the same situation.
