--- slug: /en/sql-reference/statements/undrop sidebar_label: UNDROP --- # UNDROP TABLE Cancels the dropping of the table. Beginning with ClickHouse version 23.3 it is possible to UNDROP a table in an Atomic database within `database_atomic_delay_before_drop_table_sec` (8 minutes by default) of issuing the DROP TABLE statement. Dropped tables are listed in a system table called `system.dropped_tables`. If you have a materialized view without a `TO` clause associated with the dropped table, then you will also have to UNDROP the inner table of that view. :::note UNDROP TABLE is experimental. To use it add this setting: ```sql set allow_experimental_undrop_table_query = 1; ``` ::: :::tip Also see [DROP TABLE](/docs/en/sql-reference/statements/drop.md) ::: Syntax: ``` sql UNDROP TABLE [db.]name [UUID ''] [ON CLUSTER cluster] ``` **Example** ``` sql set allow_experimental_undrop_table_query = 1; ``` ```sql CREATE TABLE undropMe ( `id` UInt8 ) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY id ``` ```sql DROP TABLE undropMe ``` ```sql SELECT * FROM system.dropped_tables FORMAT Vertical ``` ```response Row 1: ────── index: 0 database: default table: undropMe uuid: aa696a1a-1d70-4e60-a841-4c80827706cc engine: MergeTree metadata_dropped_path: /var/lib/clickhouse/metadata_dropped/default.undropMe.aa696a1a-1d70-4e60-a841-4c80827706cc.sql table_dropped_time: 2023-04-05 14:12:12 1 row in set.
