  Hey Victoria,

  Oh no! So sorry to hear about your crash. What a frustrating situation. I hope you’re able to save all your files.

  The only way to save your images and media to your desktop from WordPress.com, is individually.

  You’ll have to open your media library:
  https://vlramse52.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php

  Click on an image. Then click “View attachment page.” When you do this, you’ll see a page such as this:
  https://vlramse52.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/orange-and-yellow-winter-warmth/oryl/#main

  Then, you’ll right-click on the image and save it to your computer.

  That will do the trick.

  I don’t mean to rub salt in the wound, but this has happened to me in the past…so I highly recommend using an online cloud-based backup in the future. It’ll be insurance that you won’t have to go through this again.

  Best of luck. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks much!
