Restoring deleted photos
-
Hello,
I just deleted a bunch of photos from my media library not expecting them to be deleted from the actual published posts as well, and am quite bummed out as now a bunch of my blog posts are left blank! Is there any way to restore the hundreds of photos I’ve just deleted from my blog? Immediate help would be much appreciated!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Restoration by Staff is not possible.
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/
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
