VM deletion by mistake

[sango74]

Hello,

I just made a really big dumpling.
I deleted a virtual machine which with a disk placed on a storage and which is called: sata2: Storage: 230 / vm-230-disk-0.qcow2, backup = 0, size = 6T

Those disk were no longer used by this machine, it was offered to another VM the 229.

Except that when I deleted the VM 230 it automatically deleted my qcow2 file.

I unfortunately do not have a backup of this virtual disk.
Is it possible to retrieve it by a particular command, I launched a "foremost" command have other track?

thanks in advance

that's unfortunate...
next time you should rename the disk to the according VMID if you want to use it in another VM.

no, not really... depending on your filesystem on that disk you could try some recovery tools (extundelete can work for ext4), but otherwise i'm afraid you're out of luck

Despite several attempts I gave up.
I had made a backup of important files and photos with my migration.
I just lost the movies and the music, nothing too serious, it teaches you to think 10 times before making a click ...

thanks to you

Hey,

If you do not use ZFS filesystem, you can maybe recover your lost virtual disk with "testdisk", check how to on web.
