Public preview: Soft delete in Azure Container Registry

Restore artifacts you may have deleted by mistake using the Azure Container Registry (ACR) soft delete feature.

After the feature is enabled and an artifact is deleted, the deleted artifact is stored in a recycle bin for a number of days (user configurable setting). You can restore the artifact while it is still available in the recycle bin and build containers from it right away. Once an artifact hits the configured recycle days limit, it is purged from the Azure Container Registry permanently.
