### Website URL [https://zhmantecttmis.site.je/](https://zhmantecttmis.site.je/) ### Error Message No specific error message. I accidentally deleted the MySQL database through the InfinityFree Control Panel. The database and its records are no longer available. ### Other Information I accidentally deleted my MySQL database from the InfinityFree Control Panel on October 19, 2026. The database contained important financial data for my Target Tracker Management System, including annual targets, daily income records, and monthly income records. Unfortunately, I have no SQL backup or local copy of the database. My website files are still available. Is there any server-side backup, snapshot, or other recovery method that could restore the deleted database and its records? I would greatly appreciate your help. ---

_Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look._ I’m afraid a dropped database can’t be restored. InfinityFree doesn’t keep backups, so there’s no server-side snapshot to recover it from. A staff-accepted answer on a near-identical topic says this directly: once you drop something from a database, it’s gone. > [@Accidentally delete a table from the database](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/accidentally-delete-a-table-from-the-database/108680): > > Website URL I accidentally deleted a table from the database, is there any way to recovery that table? I had searched on the internet and in the forum for solutions, I know it could be very difficult, but I still want to ask to see if there is any way. Additionally, if the deleted table can not be restored, I want to know how to avoid such operations in the future. How could I create a backup of the database? Error Message (please share the FULL error message you see, if applicable) Other In… I also found a topic from someone who dropped a whole database. It asks the same question as yours, but I can’t see an answer in the part I could read. > [@Database Deletion and Recovery Request](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/database-deletion-and-recovery-request/118399): > > in my website [https://catatanpiutangkios.ct.ws](https://catatanpiutangkios.ct.ws) There is no specific error message displayed. However, after accidentally executing a DROP DATABASE command, the entire database and its contents are no longer accessible. The website is currently unable to retrieve any data, which results in broken functionality and missing content across the site. I unintentionally executed a DROP DATABASE command on my hosting account, which resulted in the permanent deletion of my database. This occurred while… Your website files are still there, so you can get the app running again. Create a new database, import any SQL export you still have, and update the connection details in your site’s config. Anything that was only in the deleted database is lost. For the future, the same answer says to export your database regularly from phpMyAdmin’s Export tab and keep the file somewhere local. ---
