Created a new folder (“Downloads”) in root directory by mistake. Attempted to move new folder into htdocs folder using the Move tool in the File Manager. Now I have just the new folder in the root directory and the htdocs folder has disappeared. Cannot see htdocs folder in any of my directories. No backups to restore from.
Other Information
I checked and I can’t move the folder out of my area (above root directory) so don’t believe that could have happened.
Directory for site is: /home/vol15_7/infinityfree.com/if0_39988077
Sorry, but since we do not carry any backups and we are not able to reverse deletions, your files are no longer there.
I’m very sorry to report this. There is nothing else that can be done, if you are not able to find the files anywhere else and you don’t have a backup.
Next time, to avoid issues like these occurring in the future, please back up your files on a regular basis.
@Jri-Creator I feared this might be the case, thanks for your reply. There are historic versions I can possibly restore from but have recently been using the editing tools built in to the site so recent changes won’t be saved. Shame this has happened through no fault of my own, but I should have set up / taken backups you are correct. Please feel free to close this thread.
Again, I’m very sorry to report that there was nothing we could do to restore your files.
