Is there a way to restore obsolete reports?

We changed our data base relationship from a master detail to a lookup and then the SF default for that report disappeared and every link says obsolete report.   Our sandboxes were refreshed also.  Is there any way to see the details of those reports so that I can at least recreate them with a custom report?

Hi Linda,

As per salesforce out of box functionality, it notpossible right now.

Refer the below idea has been closed.

As  an alternative,
With the availability of the "Find Where a Field Is Used" feature (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=fields_references.htm&type=5), you can now determine how changing a field impacts reports. As such, this idea will be closed, given that a proactive workaround is available.

If this helps, please mark it as best answer.

Thanks!!

This doesn't help at all of telling me how to fix the problem once it's happened.   It only tells what to do about a field, but these were objects that the relationship changed on, not fields, so how would the "Find Where Field is Used" feature help if we are changing the relationships with objects?  This doesn't seem to answer the question I asked.
