@Bhavani_Ananth when you say

do you mean you recreated the entire deployment? If so, I'm not sure what you mean by

You should be able to recreate the original cluster state by restoring a snapshot of your previous cluster (see the [snapshot-restore](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-clear-data-out-of-an-index/4990) docs).

The other option to "reinstate" your saved objects is to import them from an export of the older cluster (if that is still around).

I really hope you have a snapshot before all the changes!
