Hi, Most objects in an AdWords are not fully removed from the account, but rather continue to exist with a status of deleted. You can "un- delete" these objects by changing the status from DELETED to ENABLED using the SET operator.
The only exception to this rule are criteria, such as Keywords and Placements, which are completely removed. To "un-delete" these, simply add them back to the AdGroup or Campaign using the ADD operator.
