+You can recover an accidentally deleted storage account if the following criteria are met:
+- The storage account was deleted within the past 14 days.
+- The storage account was created with the Azure Resource Manager deployment model.
+- A new storage account with the same name hasn't been created since the original account was deleted.
+- The user who is recovering the storage account must be assigned an Azure RBAC role that provides the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/write permission.

Azure file shares are still billed on the used capacity when they're soft deleted.
