A: Yes. Once deleted, the resource cannot be recovered unless a soft-delete policy is enabled in Azure Key Vault.
Q: Does this action support soft-delete?
A: If soft-delete is enabled in your Azure Key Vault configuration, the resource will be recoverable during the retention period set in Azure.
Q: Will WeHub log the secret value?
A: No. WeHub never stores or logs secret contents; deletion is performed securely through Azure APIs.
