Pictures deleted from post when deleted from media
-
I deleted images from my media storage without realising they would delete from the past blog posts they had been posted on. Is there anyway I can remove this step and retrieve the images on the posts? I cannot remember which I deleted and which blog posts they belong on, what can I do about this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I never ever recommend doing what you did. This is why.
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.

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/
