    I was trying to upload new photos for my wife’s blog, but we got the Error message above. It said that the memory was full, so I deleted all of our photos in our media section without realizing it would pull them from the site. Why is this happening?

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

    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/

    Images and media 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.

    What is the URL of the site?

    I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up.

    Hi there,

    On which site is this? http://colormeblondecom.wordpress.com/ has no media files uploaded, and also no evidence of any media files having been deleted.

    If you’re speaking of the other site in your account, http://colormeblonde.com/, we can’t help with this. That site is a self-hosted site using the WordPress.org software, and only connected to WordPress.com via the Jetpack plugin. None of the files for that site are on our servers, so we don’t even have access to them, never mind the ability to restore them.

    I suggest you contact your hosting provider for that site and find out if they keep backups of your site that they can restore. Or if you have your own backups, either via manual backups or via a plugin, restoring that backup is the only way to get the images back aside from manually re-adding each image.
