Google App Engine deleted default GCS bucket. Is there a way to restore it?

I was deleting some files from the default bucket of my application and I accidentally deleted also the bucket itself using gsutil rm command.

Is there a way to restore/recreate/bring it back ? I would like to continue to use the free quota and not enable billing.

What I tried to do so far is that (but I'm not sure it is correct). I first enable billing just to re-create a bucket with the same name: xxx.appspot.com. In order to be able to do that I verified that I'm the owner of the domain. I setup the default acl to give my app OWNER access using the service account. Then I disabled the billing again.

Is the bucket considered like the default bucket create by app engine cloud storage integration and use the free quota tier ?

The only way to get it back seems to be creating a new project. There is no option to restore the bucket in the console, and there is no documentation on how to restore the bucket if it gets deleted. – Adam
Yeah.. it seem so.. unfortunately. I hope I can avoid that, but not a big problem.. I will re-create it. – Cristian Marastoni
That is very unfortunate. I had the same problem. I tried creating the bucket with the same name (<projectname>.appspot.com) but was refused because I dont own the appspot domain. – Michael

Just login to your Cloud Console Dashboard, go to AppEngine and select settings then Create Default Bucket.

I deleted mine severally and recreated it again!

No there is no way to restore a deleted bucket or object inside a bucket. DELETE operation comes under strong global consistency. Keep in mind that you can use Google Cloud Storage only after enabling billing for your project. It's not free.
