How To: Replace a Deleted Sandbox

1. Understand the Deletion:

   • Deletion is Final: If a sandbox was deleted, all the data and changes are permanently removed. It cannot be recovered.

   • Act Quickly: Your fastest path back to testing is to create a new sandbox immediately, using either your Production Org or Another Sandbox as the source.

2. Check for Available Sandbox Slots:

   • Log in to your main Production Org (where you do your live work).

   • Click the gear icon ⚙️ and select Setup.

   • In the Quick Find box, type Sandbox and select it.

   • Look at the list of sandboxes. If you see a "Create a Sandbox" button, you have an available slot.

3. Create Your New Sandbox:

   • Click the Create a Sandbox button.

   • Name Your Sandbox: Give it a clear, unique name (like "MyTestOrg" or "NewDev").

   • Choose the Copy Type: This is important! Pick the type that matches your testing needs:

     • Full: Copies all data and takes the longest time to create.

     • Partial: Copies metadata and sample of data with 5 GB of data storage.

     • Developer Pro: Copies metadata, with 1 GB storage and no data.
     • Developer: Copies meta data with 200 MB storage and no data.

   • Click Create.
