Hi @ArnaJi88 ,

after you click on delete your analysis will be marked for deletion and deleted after a default retention time of 30 days.

If you have not created an export before that, you must recreate the analysis manually.
Unfortunately, I am afraid that there is no other way.

Best regards,
Nico

An Analysis when deleted would be marked for deletion and be available to list via API/CLI (until the retention period. Default retention period is 30 days, unless an explicit value is provided via API/CLI).
For example, I deleted an analysis, but when listing all analyses in my account, I can still see the deleted analysis with status as ‘DELETED’. So I can use this API to find the analysis ID.

        "Status": "CREATION_SUCCESSFUL",
        "CreatedTime": "2021-10-19T19:01:24.843000-04:00",
        "LastUpdatedTime": "2021-10-19T19:13:15.970000-04:00"
    },
    {
        "Arn": "arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:123456789012:analysis/pole78d1-jjtt-4efe-yyoo-93ccb9127c39",
        "AnalysisId": " pole78d1-jjtt-4efe-yyoo-93ccb9127c39",
        "Name": "analysis - test",
        "Status": "DELETED",
        "CreatedTime": "2020-10-08T11:45:12.259000-04:00",
        "LastUpdatedTime": "2022-02-04T03:31:46.643000-05:00"
    },

I could successfully restore this analysis using the restore API, and the status if the analysis changed to ‘UPDATE_SUCCESSFULL’.

Please list the analyses in your AWS Account and check if the deleted analysis name, ID shows up. You can then use the analysis ID to restore the analysis.
