  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.

  re: images

  For accepted file types for uploading see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  Are you running a browser and version of it found at http://browsehappy.com? If not, upgrade.

  Have you tried dragging an image straight from your desktop or computer’s image folder and drop it directly into your post’s editor?

  If you prefer you can click on the Add Media button from the toolbar of your editor to upload an image to your post.

  See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/

  For uploading images into posts and pages see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/

  For using the new editor for this see the instructions Staff ie. supernovia provided here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/images-arent-clickable-any-more?replies=15#post-2530659

  For image editing see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-editing/

  For troubleshooting images see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/troubleshooting-images/

  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/
