From personal experience, as a customer who once did something stupid: Google Cloud does soft deletes. But you need to reach out to support fast enough. And really, if you deleted something important and discovered it only the next day, and not within minutes, you're having a bigger issue that a soft delete won't solve.
What kind of shitty soft delete can’t be undone a few weeks after?
Weekends and public holidays are a thing, plus it’s quite common for companies to shut down for 2 weeks over Christmas.
There’s a lot of opportunity for mistakes or malicious actions to happen at times that won’t be discovered for a while.
