Problem
When trying to restore a user who was deleted over 20 days ago, you are unable to locate it at the Recently deleted filter in the Admin console.
Environment
- Admin console
Solution
You can’t restore a user if...
- It’s been longer than 20 days since you deleted the user account.
- You don’t have an available user license for the service or edition that was previously assigned to the user.
- Your domain is no longer available or has been moved to another Google Workspace account.
Cause
You can restore a user account (including administrator accounts) up to 20 days after deleting it. After 20 days, the data is gone and you cannot restore it.
