This is how the accidental deletion occurred:

```ssh
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
Topic.where(:id=><id>).destroy_all

```

The `<id>` I deleted was the wrong one and of course it just so happened to be a topic that a number of users were tuned into it. The important thing is I stopped, did not panic and did not execute another action after the accidental deletion occurred.

🛑_Stop, 🚫 Do Not Panic and 🚫 Do Not Execute_

How I recovered the accidentally deleted topic using the rails console:

```plaintext
destroyed_topic = _  
destroyed_topic.each do |destroyed_record|
  Topic.create(destroyed_record.attributes)
end

```

For future reference are there other ways could I have achieved this? If so, how?

È difficile prevedere con certezza, ma `destroy` dovrebbe essere riservato esclusivamente a casi assolutamente confermati. Effettua prima un backup. Non sono sicuro che il recupero in questo caso possa propagarsi e restituire tutti i record necessari.

Invece:

```plaintext
Topic.find_by(id: <id>).trash!

```

Per recuperare:

```plaintext
Topic.with_deleted.where(id: <id>).recover!

```
