  I deleted the photos from my media library to create more space….NOT knowing that the posted blog photos would also be deleted;
  is there any way of retrieving those photos to my blog

  also….what is the maximum size of my media library…in other words, is there a maximum # of photos it will hold?
  thanks

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

  Got to the top of the page here > Settings >Media >Library to see how much space is used and what remains.

  You have to upload all the images again.There is no means of recovering them because you deleted them from WordPress.COM servers.

  All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images.
