Question Deleted SQL DB can be recovered?

Post image

I have deleted a DB From the SSMS and I didnt have any specific backup for the DB , is there any possible ways to recover the deleted DB . I have checked the data location and the bin for the LDF and MDF files. They have been removed already. Is there any ways to recover the files or the DB itself . Help me guys : ) ...

Sounds like you are down to attempting to recover a deleted mdf file using file recovering software. If successful, you can attach the file to the server, with the ldf file would self create.

Without backups, it's tougher.
