Restoring Deleted Repositories
==============================
By default when repository or whole repository group is deleted an archived copy
of filesystem repositories are kept. You can see them as special entries in the
repository storage such as::
drwxrwxr-x 3 rcdev rcdev 4096 Dec 4 2017 rm__20171204_105727_400795__ce-import
drwxrwxr-x 6 rcdev rcdev 4096 Nov 21 2017 rm__20180221_152430_675047__svn-repo
drwxr-xr-x 7 rcdev rcdev 4096 Mar 28 2018 rm__20180328_143124_617576__test-git
drwxr-xr-x 7 rcdev rcdev 4096 Mar 28 2018 rm__20180328_144954_317729__test-git-install-hooks
Data from those repositories can be restored by simply removing the
`rm_YYYYDDMM_HHMMSS_DDDDDD__` prefix and additionally only in case of Mercurial
repositories remove the `.hg` store prefix.::
rm__.hg => .hg
For Git or SVN repositories this operation is not required.
After removing the prefix repository can be brought by opening
:menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Remap and Rescan` and running `Rescan Filesystem`
This will create a new DB entry restoring the data previously removed.
To restore OLD database entries this should be done by restoring from a Database backup.
RhodeCode also keeps the repository group structure, this is marked by entries that
in addition have GROUP in the prefix, eg::
drwxr-xr-x 2 rcdev rcdev 4096 Jan 18 16:13 rm__20181130_120650_977082_GROUP_Test1
drwxr-xr-x 2 rcdev rcdev 4096 Jan 18 16:13 rm__20181130_120659_922952_GROUP_Docs
.. note::
RhodeCode Tools have a special cleanup tool for the archived repositories. Please
see :ref:`clean-up-cmds`
