Hi @Dawn Criswell 

There is an app for this on the marketplace.

But this will only work for deleted issues after the app has been installed, previous delted actions can't be undone.

Hi @Dawn Criswell 

There is no built-in way to recover deleted content.

There are marketplace apps available that can enable tracking and restoration of deleted issues, but these need to be installed and configured before the deletion occurs.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Hi @Dawn Criswell 

There is no way to recover deleted issues if you don't have a backup.

Here, you can read about options to prevent losing deleted issues in the future:

Hi @Dawn Criswell - Welcome to the Community and Happy New Year! 

Yeah, unfortunately it's not possible to restore content. I'm just adding this link as a reference: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/restore-deleted-stories-in-jira/qaq-p/975442

If you're looking for specific data from a deleted Jira story or epic, perhaps at some point while creating or editing the Jira, you received an email notification that contains the details you need to manually re-create it. This is something that kind of saved my day, when I had a similar case with deleted Jiras on accident.
