# Rebuilding Missing Resources in CDK
In AWS CDK, if a resource like a DynamoDB table is missing (maybe it was accidentally manually deleted) with a `ResourceNotFound` or `Unable to retrieve arn` error, you can recover it without tearing down the whole stack by recreating the resource with the same full name that the CDK stack/CloudFormation template is looking for.
