The Item name of a Canvas report in Report Distributor contains the report name + the component name. If user can run this report from Report Distributor but could not find it in Report Center, it is possible that this may have just been deleted.

The pages of a deleted report are by default maintained as "Orphan Pages", and can be restored.

Online Report Designer Recycle Bin is now supported in Report Center and customers can restore the deleted reports by doing the following steps:

1. Create a new Canvas or edit an existing one
2. Click on the Page drop down
3. Click on Add Existing Page
4. 
5. Click on the drop down for "Orphan Pages (not assigned to any report)"
   
6. Look for and select the deleted report> click on Copy

Be aware that pages of a deleted report may not maintain their associations with queries. If the queries still exist independently of the reports then you can simply reselect them, otherwise you may need to recreate the queries.

It is not possible to audit when the report was deleted. It is however possible to determine who deleted the report, to do so please open an incident to Analytics Support on LOD-SF-ANA-RCT-CAN.
