Hi @JJJJ

Welcome to the QuickSight community!

Unfortunately, once a dataset is deleted, it cannot be recovered directly. However, you can take the following steps to address the issue.

  • If any analysis were created using the deleted dataset, they may still retain references to the dataset fields used in analysis. Review these to identify the dataset fields and possibly reconstruct it.

  • If CloudTrail logging is enabled for your account, you can check the logs for DeleteDataSet actions to determine, Use these logs to recreate the dataset.

    1. When the dataset was deleted.
    2. Who deleted it.
    3. Metadata about the dataset (e.g., its name, source, configuration).

  • If you have access to the original data source (e.g., S3, RDS, Redshift, etc.), you can re-import the data and configure the dataset based on your records or the retained analysis structure.

  • Prevent future accidental deletions by

    1. Restricting permissions: Ensure only authorized users can delete datasets.
    2. Using groups: Control dataset-level permissions by assigning roles and using groups for managing access.
