Soft delete now enabled for all Standard tier stores

App Configuration now supports changes to recovery, purging, and purge protecting for your standard tier configuration stores. If you accidentally delete your store, it can now be recovered to its previous state for a period of up to 7 days.

All currently existing Standard tier stores automatically have the soft delete option enabled, with a preset recovery period of 7 days. If you are deleting a configuration store and plan to recreate a store with the same name before the end of the retention period, use the purge functionality on the old store first. The previous ability to recreate stores without purging will be deprecated on **April 30th, 2022**.

To learn more about the soft delete feature, refer to [the soft delete conceptual document](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-app-configuration/concept-soft-delete), or to learn how to recover or purge your store, access [this how-to](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-app-configuration/howto-recover-deleted-stores-in-azure-app-configuration).
