 # Prevent accidental deletion of Azure file shares

+Azure Storage now offers soft delete for file shares. Soft delete allows you to recover your data when it is mistakenly deleted by an application or other storage account user.
 
 ## How soft delete works
 
-When enabled, soft delete enables you to save and recover your file shares when they are deleted. When data is deleted, it transitions to a soft deleted state instead of being permanently erased. You can configure the amount of time soft deleted data is recoverable before it is permanently expired.

 Soft delete can be enabled on new or existing file shares. Soft delete is also backwards compatible, so you don't have to make any changes to your applications to take advantage of the protections of soft delete.

 ## Configuration settings
 
-Soft delete for file shares is enabled at the storage account level, the soft delete settings apply to all file shares within a storage account. When you create a new storage account, soft delete is off by default. Soft delete is also off by default for existing storage accounts. You can toggle the feature on and off at any time during the life of a storage account.

-The retention period indicates the amount of time that soft deleted file shares are stored and available for recovery. For file shares that are explicitly deleted, the retention period clock starts when the data is deleted. Currently you can retain soft deleted shares for between 1 and 365 days.

Shares deleted prior to the retention period update will expire based on the retention period that was configured when that data was deleted.

-To permanently delete a file share that is in a soft delete state prior to its expiry time, you must undelete the share, disable soft delete, and then delete the share again. Then you should reenable soft delete, since any other file shares in that storage account will be vulnerable to accidental deletion while soft delete is off.

 ## Pricing and billing
 
-Both standard and premium file shares are billed on the used capacity when soft deleted, rather than provisioned capacity. Additionally, premium file shares are billed at the snapshot rate while in the soft delete state. Standard file shares are billed at the regular rate while in the soft delete state. You will not be charged for data that is permanently deleted after the configured retention period.
