Is there any way to restore repositories recently deleted by Atlassian?

Question

Around the Christmas holidays I received an email saying that at some point Atlassian / Bitbucket would ruthlessly delete all my inactive repositories (mostly university projects).

This couldn't have come at a more inopportune time as I didn't have my laptop on me to save a copy of all the work...

Is there any way those aren't completely deleted just yet and can be restored so I back them up?

Please?

Hi Bloomingbridges,

I have clicked the 'Request Assistance' button to notify Atlassian Support, so they can review this post and respond to you.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi @bloomingbridges

As mentioned earlier email and in this article: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Bitbucket-articles/Bitbucket-cleanup-of-free-unused-workspaces-what-you-need-to/ba-p/3144063, free workspaces are deleted only if they meet both of the below conditions:

No repositories in the workspace.Your workspace (Bloomingbridges) has 11 repositories, so this does not apply.

Repositories exist, but no activity for 6 months.To avoid this, please sign in to https://bitbucket.org/bloomingbridges and access your repositories.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Suhas
