Recovering an accidentally deleted chat

[nseldeib (Nadia)]

I accidentally deleted a chat in v0 and am really hoping to recover it - is there any way to restore it?

I deleted it earlier today.

Did you know there’s another category dedicated to v0 topics? A human should be here soon to help, but the answer may already be available even faster in one of these other posts.

Our docs are a great place to start.

Getting Started Using v0 is like chatting with a frontend engineer, who takes in your design guidelines and creates an application for you. A common workflow with v0 is putting in design files and images to scaffold your application and then use text prompts to nudge v0 into creating your perfect application. Remember, just like any other AI tool, the quality of the output that v0 generates depends on the quality of the prompt or instructions you input. So, it’s important to be clear, descripti…

Hello Nadia! I don’t know if this will help you in this case. I’m not very into V0, but I’ve just had a wee scan around the website, and I found this. This may help! But I don’t know…

Feature: You can now restore deleted chats

You can now go to v0.dev/chat/archive and see any chats that have been deleted in the last 30 days and have a chance to restore them This was our data retention window before they’re hard deleted from the system, but now it’s accessible to users (like a recycle bin) Keep in mind there is no possible way to restore them once this 30 days is up (they are off our servers permanently) so please take advantage of this sooner rather than later if you end up deleting something by mistake [image]

Hero, thank you! I didn’t spot that and the restore worked in bringing my chat back to life. Thanks for your help here.

Absolutely no problem. Hope you have a great rest of your day.
