Hi, there are several methods to recover deleted vmdk from vmware datastore. If the deletion is recent and the files have not been permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin yet, you can try to recover them from the Recycle Bin in VMware vSphere Client. However, if the files have been deleted for a longer period of time or cannot be recovered from the Recycle Bin, you can use specialized software such as VMware Data Recovery or Veeam Backup & Replication. These tools provide the ability to recover deleted files and data from backups created in VMware data storage.

In addition to using recovery tools, it is also recommended that you regularly back up important data to a VMware datastore. This will help prevent data loss in the event of deletion or corruption. In addition, it is important to ensure adequate data protection, monitor access to the datastore, and regularly update security procedures to prevent accidental deletion or loss of data.
