PostgreSQL Service Unable to Start After Archive Log delete

Dear All,

Unfortunately, the OS housekeeping activity has been performed, and all
archive log files has been deleted from both the archive log and pg_wal
locations. We attempted to start the service, but it is unable to start due
to the error shown below. Please provide the solution.
