How do I recover files from a disabled student subscription?

I have had a student subscription that expired, and I am trying to recover some files on the storage resource associated with the VM/server that I was running. I can not upgrade unfortunately as I do not have a credit card yet, but I really need my files as I worked on them for a long time, I didn't get a warning that my credits were about to run about, so I had no idea. All I want is the files I have on the VM.

Any idea on how to get them back?

    You'll need to reactivate it then recover the files.

    The supported payment methods for Microsoft Azure are credit cards, debit cards, and check wire transfer.
