    What do you mean "deleted storage data"? From your computer? From zotero.org? Are you sure that you had synced properly before uninstalling Zotero?

    In the other thread you started you've mentioned that you "purged" your data. How exactly did you do this and what exactly are you missing in your library now? Are you just unable to access your file attachments or are you missing actual entries?

    When I uninstalled zotero standard, I delete the data from computer.
    Today I update the storage
    I purge the storage. My account only have entry item, no attachment file.
    I want backup this pdf files

    I don't think there's a way to get the files back after you specifically deleted them both locally and online, sorry.
    I'm curious--what happened? Why did you use purge? Why delete all your data locally?

    That is so stupid and ashamed for me.Because i don't know what's mean of purge. At that time, i was learning how to update storage and searching a button to pay. So tragedy was happened.
    On my computer, Zotero library data was saved on C disk.
    Last day, the C disk is full. I uninstalled several software included Zotero standalone to improve computer space. when the zotero Prompt box was out and said 'if delete locally data?'. I choose 'yes'. Because i think all files had saved at zotero online.
