Data storage size is included in the formula because allocated database storage isn't billed separately for a deleted database. For a deleted database, data is stored after deletion to enable recovery during the configured backup retention period.

Billable backup storage for a deleted database reduces gradually over time after it's deleted. It becomes zero when backups are no longer retained, and then recovery is no longer possible. If it's a permanent deletion and you no longer need backups, you can optimize costs by reducing retention before deleting the database.

In this quickstart, you'll use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to restore a database from Azure Blob Storage to [Azure SQL Managed Instance](sql-managed-instance-paas-overview.md). The quickstart restores the Wide World Importers sample database from a publicly available backup file using a Shared Access Signature (SAS) key.
