As @Jack Brickey says a restore from backup is the only way, HOWEVER doing that will WRITE OVER the current data. IMO no one should have permission to delete anything. Delete is delete in Jira, weather it is a project or issue. There is no good recovery option.

the only way is to do a restore and this assumes you have a recent backup that you would be interested in restoring to. often the restoration could be worse as it impacts all projects.

Hi @Ayman Hraghi 

Unfortunately you cannot recover a deleted project in Jira.

Hi @Ayman Hraghi ,

Atlassian recently introduced the trash feature for projects. It will keep deleted projects and its issues in trash for 60 days. So that you can recover a deleted project in 60 days.

However,  if you delete only the issues, the deleted issues are lost forever. For that specific need, we built Restore Deleted Issues app. It keeps track of when and who deleted the issues.You can view and restore summary, description and comments except attachments.
