Unable to Recover Databricks Notebook

HimanshuSingh — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 04:47:52 GMT

I am working on databricks community edition and I was trying to delete 4 unused files but after selecting those files then I deleted them, but I don't know how my whole directory with multiple databrick notebooks got deleted. I am not getting the trash bin option to recover. I am trying to recover them as they are very important for me since I have been working on them for more than a month. Please help me recover these files as soon as possible.

Hello @HimanshuSingh!

Unfortunately, in Databricks Community Edition, there is no supported way to recover notebooks or directories once they have been deleted.

For future work, use the Free Edition, as it includes a Trash folder that allows you to recover deleted notebooks.

Thanks for the reply. But it so unfortunate all my notebooks are vanished in 1sec.

Previoulsy I was using Free edition. But I was unable to work on Python and was getting

"Unsupported cell during execution. SQL warehouses only support executing SQL cells." error and I was unable to create new Cluster, so moved to community edition.
