I have a client that deleted a disk my mistake from within a VM via the Edit configuration. I know, how do you delete a disk by mistake? My same question to him....<br />
Anyway, is there anyway to bring back that disk along with the data or is it gone for good?

Can I restore a deleted disk from a VM

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
