Consider the following if you want to recover an Azure Storage Account: 

• Microsoft states that the recovery operation is not guaranteed 
• Was the account deleted less than 14 days ago? 
• Make sure you haven’t created another storage account with the same name as the deleted account 
• Did you create the account using Azure Resource Managed deployment model?
