Hi everyone… is it possible to recover saved drafts in different devices from a deleted project?

Recently I deleted one project with multiple saved drafts in different devices. Is there a way to recover the information in those devices even after the project has been deleted from KoBoToolbox?

I would appreciate any answers, and if there is a solution let me know.

Regards

Welcome to the community @enrique_thinkdata! Could you kindly share us a screenshot of the saved drafts that is still present in your device?

Hi @enrique_thinkdata
Welcome to the community forum. Unfortunately, there is no direct method of recovering drafts once you have deleted the project. You may however be able to do this externally (off Kobo) using ODK briefcase if you have the original form (prior to your deletion). Unfortunately, this will not bring back the data to the project without additional programming approaches. My advice would be that you first check whether you are able to do this manually.
