### I have accidentally deleted an environment

Environments are not recoverable from the [trash](https://go.postman.co/trash) once deleted due to security purposes.

If you have [removed an Environment from a workspace](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/internal-workspaces/manage-workspaces/#managing-workspace-roles), you can recover it from [your environments](https://go.postman.co/me/environments) in your Postman dashboard.

### I have lost all my environments after leaving my team

If you have lost your environment after leaving a team, it is likely because the environment was shared in a team workspace. When an environment is shared in a team workspace, ownership of any team-shared content becomes the team's ownership after a team member is removed.

If your organization allows it, contact the Admin of your former team so they can [export the environments](/docs/getting-started/importing-and-exporting/exporting-data/#export-environments) you want to recover access to.

* **Note:** Postman doesn’t have the possibility to add you back to your previous team, nor help you recover access to your data.
