I logged in to my couchDb fauxton UI, selected a database, and clicked select all and deleted the documents. Is there a way to recover them from the UI or is there any command I can run that will restore all of them?

  • Deleted documents are never truly deleted. There are still tombstone documents around with `"_deleted": true` keys. And if you haven't compacted the database, you can recover the old revisions, too. But you'll have to write a script to do this. There's no single command to just restore deleted documents. – Jonathan Hall Aug 10 '19 at 20:11

Have a look at this Stackoverflow post, in the answers you'll find solutions how to restore _deleted CouchDB documents.

Another explanation can be found in this blog post regarding "CouchDB restoring deleted/updated documents and their data".
