Accidentally deleted my Space - is recovery possible?
Hugging Face Forums [Unofficial]
June 9, 2026
Hmm… Unless you already had a backup, I don’t think there’s any user-side way to restore a deleted Space.
If recovery is possible at all, it would probably have to be handled by HF internally. I’m not aware of any official recovery flow for deleted Spaces, and Hub repository deletion is documented as irreversible. Since Spaces are hosted on the Hub as Git repositories, I’d assume the same general warning applies here.
So the only realistic option is probably to contact regular HF support at website@huggingface.co and give them the original Space URL, owner account, and deletion time. I’ve seen that address mentioned in the HF forum as the general support contact for Space-related issues, for example in this Space deletion/running-instance thread.
But I wouldn’t rely on it. There’s no guarantee they can recover it. I’d also check for any local clone, GitHub/GitLab mirror, cache, CI artifact, or collaborator copy, since manually recreating the Space may be the only practical route.
