Can I recover a deleted device or variable?

Yes — if you accidentally delete a device or variable in Ubidots, there's still a chance to recover it.

Ubidots keeps deleted items in a soft-deleted state for a limited time. This means the data is not immediately erased from the system and can potentially be recovered by our support team.

⚠️ Charges may apply

Data recovery is a manual process and hence falls into the category of professional services, meaning:

  • Hourly fees may apply depending on the time estimation from our DevOps team.

  • Applies only to Enterprise customers.

To request a recovery:

  1. Contact support@ubidots.com as soon as possible.

  2. Provide the name or ID of the deleted device or variable.

  3. Include the approximate deletion date.

⚠️ Important

Recoveries are only possible within a short retention window (typically a few days). After that, the data may be permanently removed.
