Hello @katistix123. When a site is deleted, it has a window of 30 days to be restored. @amirudra789 called the staff to help you with this.
Just place here the URL of the site you want to recover to speed things up. In cases like this, time is essential.

Hi Katistix123,
I’m sorry to inform you that once you’ve confirmed a permanent delete the chances of recovery are very slim.
In the event your domain is attached to different content, there are two methods you can try to regain your content but this isn’t a guaranteed option. The Google Cache and The Wayback Machine methods can be tried.

Okay, I now see the support documentation for site reversing @katiestix. There is hope! Lets gooooo

The google cache and wayback machine variants do not work because I need to recover user generated content. And also nearly every link on google cache is broken.

Also. The site was on this account but I also changed the username so that’s why it says that the correct account is unknown. I feel like the username was previously @2018tpg or something like that but I’m not sure.
-
My bad. The previous username was another it was similar to the subdomain of the website. But I cannot really say it because of privacy reasons.

Hello there!

Ok what is the URL of the site that needs restoring? We’ll do our best to track it down and see what we can do those documents.
Many thanks.

Thanks to everyone for helping. I solved it by replying to the email that said that someone deleted the website. By replying, in less than an hour the site was back online. Amazing support from the WordPress staff!
