We are creating log analytics workspace using the following terraform code:

resource “azurerm\_log\_analytics\_workspace” “workspace” {  
count = var.workspace\_id == null ? 1 : 0  
name = var.workspace\_name  
location = var.location  
resource\_group\_name = var.resource\_group\_name  
sku = var.sku  
retention\_in\_days = var.retention\_in\_days  
}  
and we have not used --force delete flag and but we ran a terraform apply command ,due to incorrect region it destroyed the workspace (hard delete: non recoverable) instead of soft delete.  
terraform plan command:

terraform plan -out=tfplan

Terraform apply command:  
terraform apply -no-color -input=false -auto-approve tfplan
