-After the virtual machines are deleted, we won't be able to recover them or their data. Back up any required data from these inactive virtual machines, and then delete the virtual machines if you don't need them. Delete the virtual machines and the associated labs yourself to avoid incurring any unnecessary charges. Once the virtual machines are deleted, there's no way to recover the virtual machines or the data on them.
