This situation is a more catastrophic variation of the problem described in Restoring a Replica from Backup: a replica’s storage directory is lost, and there is no backup to be restored. The procedure for handling this situation is similar to that in Deleting a Replica.
Perform this procedure in the replica that masters the deleted replica. (If the replica was its own master, perform this procedure in the replica that will master the deleted replica’s objects.) It is also important that the replica know about all the objects that were mastered by the deleted replica.
