Undo Purge

Reuben Orang'o
I accidentally purged my storage/Library and now I cannot undo the action! Please, someone help me and soon.

    Did you purge the data on the website or on your computer? Do you still have the data on the computer or the website if you purged only one of these?

    Before you follow Gracile's link, answer mronkko's question. Purging storage on the website doesn't actually delete anything (and doesn't have anything to do with the database backup in Gracile's link).

    I purged the data on the website and NOT on my computer. I still have data on my computer. Thank God that according to Dan Stillman, "Purging storage on the website doesn't actually delete anything ...."
    What are the process of restoring it on the website? Dan, I really appreciate your contribution and mronkko's.

    Just sync your data again, and the files will be uploaded again. (assuming that you have not deleted the data, but used the "purge storage" button on the website)

    You might need to do Reset File Sync History in the Sync->Reset pane of the Zotero preferences before syncing.
