Lost images
-
I have lost most of my images that were on my blog. I am left with little boxes with blue question marks all over my blog. I’ve searched this forum to try to figure out how to resolve it and (not being overly techy) I can’t figure out how to get my images back. Most of my images came from saved screenshots from my Dropbox. I had erased those images (on Dropbox) to clear up space and wonder if that is the cause of the wipe-out. Yet, my embedded files are also gone (not associated with Dropbox). I cleared most of my media library on WordPress to free up space. Is that the problem? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Too bad you did that.
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.
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/
