Undo an Accidentally Deleted Field in ArcGIS Pro?

MichaelTorbett

I feel stupid asking this but here goes. I was on a steady pace updating some attribute information when I accidentally deleted a field in my attribute table. I immediately realized what happened and hit the undo button. However, it did not undo the change. Is there ANY way to recover this information. The data is a File Geodatabase Feature Class.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm afraid that, unless you created a backup of that file geodatabase on your system somewhere, there is not a way to recover that deleted field. I presume you were in an edit session? Choosing not to save your edits and ending the session would be the only way to revert back to where you were before deleting.

You might check with your IT department and see if they have a backup of the drive where that file geodatabase resided and maybe you can pull an older copy from there?

Good luck!

Jonathan

Thanks for the info Jonathan. That's what I figured, but I thought I'd ask just in case someone came up with a solution. I ended up using a backup Geodatabase which kept me from having a total loss.

Was there any kind of warning from the Pro software asking if you really wanted to delete that field? This would seem to be a useful feature if it is that easy to delete a field in Pro.

MichaelTorbett

Yes there was. I was in a hurry and blew right through it. However, the undo button failed me. I immediately hit it after realizing what I had done and it did nothing. Its worked for me before when I've needed to restore a field. Not this time though.

It’s unfortunate that there is no way to restore class features that are deleted by mistake from the file geodatabase where the only way is to go back to the backups
