# Accidental delete protection for Azure file shares using Azure Backup
99

10-
To provide protection against cyberattacks or accidental deletion, [soft delete](https://aka.ms/softdeletefeature) is enabled for all file shares in a storage account when you configure backup for any file share in the respective storage account. With soft delete, even if a malicious actor deletes the file share, the file share’s contents and recovery points (snapshots) are retained for a minimum of 14 additional days, allowing the recovery of file shares with no data loss.

You need to first undelete the soft deleted file share to perform restore operations. The undelete operation will bring the file share into the backed-up state where you can restore to any point in time. To learn how to undelete your file share, visit [this link](https://aka.ms/howtoundelete) or see the [Undelete File Share Script](./scripts/backup-powershell-script-undelete-file-share.md).

### How can I purge the data of a file share in a storage account that has at least one protected file share?
4141

4242
If you have at least one protected file share in a storage account, it means that soft delete is enabled for all file shares in that account and your data will be retained for 14 days after the delete operation. But if you want to purge the data right away and don’t want it to be retained then follow these steps:

1. If you already deleted the file share while Soft Delete was enabled, then first undelete the file share from the [Files portal](https://aka.ms/howtoundelete) or by using the [Undelete File Share Script](./scripts/backup-powershell-script-undelete-file-share.md).

### In the context of a file share’s soft delete setting, what changes does Azure Backup do when I unregister a storage account?
5555

56-
At the time of unregistration, Azure Backup checks the retention period setting for file shares and if it's greater than 14 days or less than 14 days, it leaves the retention as is. However, if the retention is 14 days, we consider it as being enabled by Azure Backup and so we disable the soft delete during the unregistration process. If you want to unregister the storage account while keeping the retention setting as is, enable it again from the storage account pane after completing unregistration. You can refer to [this link](https://aka.ms/stepstoconfigretention) for the configuration steps.
