Hi, I accidentally deleted a repository named 'Playground' and I'm wondering if there's any way to recover it. I realize this was my mistake, but I wanted to check if there are any options available to restore it or if there are any backups that might help.
If recovery isn't possible, could you please help me by creating a new repository with the same name 'Playground' on my GitHub account? I would really appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks!

Hi @aditya3singh,

If the repo has been deleted within the last 90 days, you can recover it by following these steps:

1. In the upper-right corner of any page on GitHub, click your profile picture, then click Settings.

2. In the "Code planning, and automation" section of the sidebar, click Repositories.

3. Under "Repositories", click Deleted repositories.

4. Next to the repository you want to restore, click Restore.

You may be able to restore your deleted 'Playground' repository if it was deleted within the last 90 days and was owned by your personal account. GitHub provides a way to restore such repositories, unless the repository was part of a fork network that is not currently empty. Here’s how you can try to restore it:

1. Go to your GitHub profile picture in the upper-right corner and click Settings.
2. In the sidebar under "Code planning, and automation," click Repositories.
3. Click Deleted repositories.
4. Next to 'Playground', click Restore.
5. Read the warning and click I understand, restore this repository.

If your repository was part of a fork network, restoration may not be available through this interface. In that case, you can contact GitHub Support, but this option is only available for paid GitHub plans. For full details and screenshots, see: Restoring a deleted repository.
