An Entire Gallery Of Paintings Deleted Accidentally! How?

I see it just fine....has 122 cute paintings in it

Thanks Rose, yes, it is there now, I have managed to put it all back - just questioning FAA how it could possibly happen.

You deleted it. If it was to close your account we would ask if you were sure but not on a gallery.

As galleries are categories of work, you should also have a linking keyword per gallery. If you delete again you can just search that keyword and readd the images

When you hit the "Delete" gallery button, a little window DOES pop up asking, "Are you sure that you want to delete this gallery?"

I just did a test gallery to confirm that this is correct.

And, as I recall, this has been the case with other real galleries that I have deleted.

Maybe you misread "delete" as "edit" in the warning box, and thought that when you hit "proceed", you were proceeding to edit, when you actually were proceeding to delete.

Intentions sometimes override the words that sit right before our eyes.
