Dear WordPress Readers,
I may have accidentally deleted the photos of posts that I have previously posted – Aaargh!!! My storage space for this website seemed like very low and I thought it was harmless to delete the media files.
But it seems that the posts may have removed the humorous pictures.
I do apologize for this and will see how best to recover the files, if not, then I will post new ones.
Sad boo hoo! Anyway, I thought to share and let you know in case you thought harmless housekeeping of media files will not impact posts! They do!!
Garfield Hugs!!! And do not do what I did ;-(

Sorry to hear that.
Accidents like this happens all the time. I remembered that my college days, I accidentally deleted a large bunch of client files when I was doing a part time job at an office. For some reason, those files didn’t go to the recycle bin. So, I had to do some ‘fixing” to make it appear that the PC crashed on its own…
Do you have a backup? If you don’t, I think that you are better off just posting new ones.
You are so cute!! “Fixing” to look like system crashed ha ha! Ya…better off posting new ones ha ha! Thanks Edmark for making me laugh to lighten my mood of being a twit! 😃
And it turned out that they didn’t have a backup of those files. I was like, “What the heck!” It’s hard to imagine that nobody ever thought of backing up those important files.
Ooooh…that is bad! For work I personally back up my drafts and final copies as too much work to recreate. For blog on wp….it is ok as not life or death….my ink will flow for more words or ermm tappity tap tap keyboard on android or laptop ha ha!😊Good grief if they knew you were the little imp…😉
I wouldn’t have backed up their files, that’s for sure. I didn’t even remember what my role there was lol. The ones who made those files should have their own backups.
For my personal files, I keep at least 5 to 10 backups, depending on how important those files are 😀
For WP, I only have backups of my writings but not photos. Heh, as if I have any important photos on WP anyway… 🙂
Lol! You really are cute!! But it is the truth…especially for documents pertinent. I keep hard copies too. If all else fails aha I fall back on old fashioned hard copies for certificates, letters etc. I am paranoid as these are important😊
Now that you mentioned hard copies…
The deleted files actually did have hard copies. However, the day before the “incident”, we didn’t have anything to do. So the manager, through his wisdom, decided to give us some work. He ordered us to shred some documents since “we have electronic copies of them”. Then Murphy’s law struck like clockwork the very next day 😀
A real “adventure” – 😂😂
lol, I could have told you this as I did something similar a few weeks ago but mine were photos with poems. Poems can stand alone, but once deleted from media file they do vanish 😦 you will find many more I’m sure 🙂
Lol! Good we share as it seems there may be more of us who are unaware😞
I thought I was the only clux, sorry lol 🙂
I join the clux club….oops sound like klu klux clan club😉😝😂💕
clux as in silly duffers .. you duffer, I’m the president so welcome 🙂
I know!! I tease you! Thank you Madam President
and if you don’t follow my rules you will be expunged .. eer expelled 🙂
Oooh expunged lol lol…ha ha
could be the ideal solution to all your woes lol 🙂
Ohhh yes….I pray fervently each day to die faster. Then when I am expunged from earth…I am liberated and free from any pain or worries😊
na .. you saw that ghastly place you visited, you just keep coming back to repeat it all until you get it right .. like Groundhog Day so forget that prayer 😦
You’re in good company – I did that once, too! 🙄🎬🙄
Ohh starting to feel better and better with all you kind folks sharing🤗🤗💕💕🐾🐾
Never having head of the word “clux” which calmkate and you used above, I thought you two meant KLUTZ, from the German “klotz,” meaning bonehead (no offence intended — haha). Then I Googled “clux” and found that it means “chickenhead.” So I apologize for thinking of either of you as boneheads! 🙂
Haha! Boneheads….chickenheads…a rose in any other name is still but a rose! I am sure we are all “a type of “head” at one point or other!” Thanks for the definition clarifications. Now I know the origin of klutz as we use it here for someone who drops things, break things or trips all the time…a careless twit of sorts! Aussie language I am learning from Calmkate as the other day (*just to share) in lil red dot and in USA we use “trust me” spelt TRUST me verbatim. But I guess Aussies meant it as “THRUST” Me….aaahhh then it becomes a bad bad word as in *F word! Language can cause misunderstandings and that is why I find ENGGERRISH so fascinating ha ha!☺
Thanks for sharing.
Most welcome Namrata! Thank you for reading 😊
Yes…I’ve done it too! I do, however, add pictures and writing separately, always saving copies on a memory stick, as taught by my son!
Smart gal!! I am not angsty about it as memes are always for laughs. I will learn hereon😊
What do you mean? Sorry I’m New too. U mean delete media files or a post will delete the entire post?
Yes if you delete media files in WP only the text remains in your post. Do not delete.
Ok at least text remains but even so space are limited
I encountered the same experience before but fortunately I have saved my images in a hard disk. Sorry to hear that…
You are smart Edward!!😊
