# Restore a recently deleted user — Microsoft Entra admin center

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center (entra.microsoft.com) as at least a **User Administrator**.
2. Browse to **Entra ID → Users**, then select **Deleted users** (use the admin center search box to find it if it isn't visible).
3. Search for and select the user (deleted less than 30 days ago).
4. Select **Restore user**.

End state: the account and its organization information are restored, including licenses that were assigned at the time of deletion (which can push license usage out of compliance if none remain available).
