Is there any method or plugins available to retrieve deleted Jenkins job?

I have mistakenly deleted one job from Jenkins. So please give a suggestion to undo the delete.

In fact you have just to use this url to reactivate your deleted job : http://[url_of_jenkins]/jobConfigHistory/?filter=deleted

You just need to have this plugin installed beforehand: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/JobConfigHistory+Plugin

Download Plugin Job Config History

Download steps:- Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugin -> Available -> JobConfigHistory Download and install

After Installation step:- Jenkins -> Job Config History -> Show deleted jobs only and restore the jobs

Peace...

Job configs are stored on disk under $JENKINS_HOME/jobs, so if you have a backup of that directory, then you can restore the job.

Otherwise, there's no "recycle bin" for deleted jobs in Jenkins.

In future, if you want to remove a rarely-used job from Jenkins, but there's a small chance that you might want to use it in the future, you can archive the job using the Shelve Project plugin.

It is not possible unless you somehow restore files from your master operating system. In future you can use plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/JobConfigHistory+Plugin. This plugin saves configuration files for deleted jobs (but not build history).
