3434
The workspace delete operation removes the workspace ARM resource, but its configuration and data are kept for 14 days, while giving the appearance that the workspace is deleted. Any agents and System Center Operations Manager management groups configured to report to the workspace remain in an orphaned state during the soft-delete period. The service further provides a mechanism for recovering the deleted workspace including its data and connected resources, essentially undoing the deletion.

Note: Installed solutions and linked services like automation account are permanently removed from the workspace at deletion time and can’t be recovered. These should be reconfigured after the recovery operation to bring the workspace to its previous functionality.

If you have Contributor permissions to the subscription and resource group to where the workspace was associated before the soft-delete operation, you can recover it during its soft-delete period including its data, configuration and connected agents. After the soft-delete period, the workspace is non-recoverable and assigned for permanent deletion.
