  Hi! I was cleaning out media files and inadvertently deleted files that were embedded in blog posts. Now my pictures are not appearing on my blog posts! SI there any way to get the photos back without having to manually re-upload everything?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Images you upload into your media library and embed into posts and pages are on wordpress.COM servers. They remain visible unless or until you delete them from your media library. Deleting them from your media library also removes them from every place you embedded them in the blog and leaves behind broken links.

  Staff cannot restore images you delete from your Media Library. You have to upload them all again and then fix every broken image link in every post/page it was embedded into previously.

  Additional information:
  WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

  If you upload lots of images you can exhaust that free space allocation quickly. Currently, the only way to get an extra space allocation after you upload the images again, is to purchase an upgrade bundle. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/
