I know this is an old issue, but perhaps can be useful for others user. All deleted recordings are stored on /var/bigbluebutton/deleted/presentation/ and a copy of RAW files are kept on :/var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw/ when you deleted the recording via API (or plugin is the same internally), they should still have both directories (raw and deleted) unless you configure the server to delete raw files. So if you deleted a presentation by mistake, you only have to run on your console: sudo bbb-record --rebuild 414f5c5d6c45f867021c772466372b56c95eb8eb-1601662066632
Despite the response of Jesus, It is possible to restore a deleted presentation.
