Is there a way to recover a deleted game you created?

May 30 (4 years ago)

I recently decided I wanted to re-run a Roll20 game I created for a different group, but discovered to my horror I had apparently deleted the game. Is there a way to recover it?

If this was some time ago that you deleted it, you are likely out of luck. If it is very recent, or you are not sure, you could try filing a Help Center Request and explain the issue. There is a very good chance it is unrecoverable, though.

Unless they changed the backend drastically, they might be able to recover a deleted game from a few years ago. I had the Roll20 team restore a deleted game from over 2 years before the restore.

Do what Keithcurtis recommended and file a Help Center Request. Make sure you give them the name of the game and about when it was deleted. The closer the date, the better the chance they have in their effort to find and restore it. Now understand this is not a guarantee but just improves their chance in finding it. There is a cutoff point but only they would know how far back their game database backups go so go for it. Worse case is they say they can't but the best case is you have it restored.

Excellent. I had no idea a game that old was still recoverable. Good to know!
