I accidentally deleted a project, what happens now?

Issue

I deleted a Sentry project and need to recover or restore the project data.

Applies To

  • Sentry SaaS

  • Project Settings

Resolution

You cannot recover a deleted project or its data.

On SaaS, Sentry support also cannot restore a deleted project. Project deletion permanently removes associated data so privacy and data-removal needs can be met.

  1. Create a new project in your organization.

  2. Update your application to use the new project’s DSN.

  3. Reconfigure any release, source map, or debug-file upload setup for the new project.

If you still send events to the old DSN, Sentry drops them. See Will Deleting a Project Impact My Application?.

If the new project slug gets a random suffix, the old slug can still be reserved while deletion finishes. See Why can't I use an organisation or project slug?.

To remove a project on purpose: Settings → Projects → [project] → General → Remove Project. That action cannot be undone.
