Question

Accidentally tried to delete all PV\'s in cluster but thankfully they still have PVC\'s that are bound to them so all PV\'s are stuck in Status: Terminating.

How can I g

Unfortunately, you can't save your PV's and data in this case. All you may do is recreate PV with Reclaim Policy: Retain - this will prevent data loss in the future. You can read more about reclaim Policies here and here.

What happens if I delete a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)? If the volume was dynamically provisioned, then the default reclaim policy is set to “delete”. This means that, by default, when the PVC is deleted, the underlying PV and storage asset will also be deleted. If you want to retain the data stored on the volume, then you must change the reclaim policy from “delete” to “retain” after the PV is provisioned.
