In general in Windchill it is NOT possible to recover individual objects, or portions of DBs, deleted by mistake, but there are some exceptions.

Below are some articles that discuss the topic of this discussion.

Hi @MC_10477702 

It is difficult. If you delete something, it does not exist in a database anymore so it is hard to find what vault files are there that has not been removed yet and so on. 

So the best is recover the system  to a isolated network place and restore the data from working restored Windchill system from the Backup.

If you do not have a backup, it is big fail.
