How can I recover a deleted Google Apps domain?

Question

I have deleted the account for Google Apps by misguidance. Is there any chance that it can be recovered? When I try to create a new one for the same domain, it says

This domain has been registered and is in the process of ownership verification. If you believe this registration was unauthorized, please have your domain administrator contact Google support.

How can I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

It isn't possible to recover an Google Apps account. You will need to wait a few days (5-7), and then recreate the account, but it appears that all the data will be lost...

Summary of web threads:

if you deleted the google apps domain account then it is noway to recovery the data such as contacts,emails, etc all that was deleted when the google apps domain account was deleted. if you was using the Premier edition it has the Google messages Security and Recovery system by Postini where it store copies of the emails for 90 days. and if you only had the standard edition then that edition doesn`t have the Postini system.

Answer 2

Fortunately, you can 'undelete' accounts nowadays, at least recently deleted accounts, and the ability may depend on the edition of Google Apps you're using (we use the Education edition). How: Control Panel - Organizaqtion and Users - Choose "List recently deleted users" - Select account(s) to undelete - Choose Action Undelete.

Hopefully this will take the edge off for the next admin that mistakenly deleted accounts!
