Prior administrator created sites based on directory structure

http://abc.sharepoint.com/site/quality http://abc.sharepoint.com/departments/IT http://abc.sharepoint.com/departments/HR

/site and /departments are Managed Paths (directories -- not site collections or subsites).

When a Subsite is delete, I know to look to the Site Collection for the Recycle Bin. Where is the Recycle Bin for such Managed Path-based sites?

/site and /departments are directories -- not subsites.

Those are Site Collections, not directories. The answer to your question depends on the version of your SharePoint: 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016 or SharePoint Online. For 2010-2016 you can restore a deleted Site Collection using PowerShell. You will need to be a SharePoint Server Administrator with access to the SharePoint servers.

Here are the instructions for SP 2010-2016: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748655.aspx

After improving the question with Waqas's help, I was able to get a list of the deleted Managed Path sites with:

Get-SPDeletedSite -webapplication "http://sharepoint.abc.com"

To Restore such a Managed Path Site, you can use the following:

$deletedSite = Get-SPDeletedSite /departments/secure_abc
Restore-SPDeletedSite -Identity $deletedSite

Thanks!
