Restore web library?

Hi
Unfortunately, I delteted my web library while trying to sync with yje zotero app on my computer. I also presed the reset button in the app. Is it possible to restore my web library? At the moment, I don't have any files anywhere.

Kind regards
Veronica

You can likely restore your library -- local and web -- from a backup, either an automatic one or one you created, see https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#restoring_your_zotero_data_from_a_backup

I don't believe Zotero will restore individual libraries on the server, though.

The backup would have to be from a computer where the data actually existed previously, though, not from a new computer where Replace Online Library was run by mistake.
