# Restore channels

:::warning Deprecated
Soft deletion for channels has been deprecated. The `Restore()` method is no longer available because channels can only be hard-deleted. See [Delete channels](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/chat/unity-chat-sdk/build/features/channels/delete) for details.
To recreate a deleted channel, use [CreatePublicConversation()](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/chat/unity-chat-sdk/build/features/channels/create#create-public-channel), [CreateDirectConversation()](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/chat/unity-chat-sdk/build/features/channels/create#create-direct-channel), or [CreateGroupConversation()](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/chat/unity-chat-sdk/build/features/channels/create#create-group-channel) with the same channel ID.
