Library

raja.swamy@gmail.com · July 13, 2010

Is there a way to restore my web library? I mistakenly synced twice so what was an empty library on my browser replaced the web library. My storage stats shows 34mb used on zotero, so I assume my library is still there somewhere. Can I recover it? I have years of references in there, please help!

An empty library can't replace a web library, unless you manually deleted all your items and synced those deletions.

No, I did not manually delete it. I tried to download my web library to the new machine I'm working on. It was hanging so I clicked sync again, next thing I see collection folders but no library items, and on the web library same thing, folders but no items.

You have 1.5K items in your web library.

Though half of them are in the Trash.

My storage data shows 31.7 MB
Can I recover this library, its crucial, my dissertation depends on it

There's nothing to recover. You have over 1,500 items in your web library. If you don't see them, you'll need to show us a screenshot.
