Always follow this approach when you want to delete documents, you will never use the actual document present in appian, instead you disable it.

If you still want to know about the process of soft deleting let me knoW!

Hi Devarneni Shiva Prasad Rao ,

It is not recoverable via Appian’s standard functionality — even if you still have the docId (becomes Invalid), but Appian Support may help you recovering if it's recently deleted.

My suggestion is to soft delete the documents, just making isActive to false, store the docIds into db and check the validations while using them in any data.

Contact Appian Support immediately with your document IDs. In some cases, they may be able to recover documents from backups if the deletion was recent.
