Hello,
I accidentally deleted my main deck (which had a sub-deck) on AnkiWeb today. I only use AnkiWeb on my mobile phone, and I don’t have any local backups because I just installed Anki Desktop.
Could you please help me restore my collection from a recent server backup? My AnkiWeb account email is: skalawafa@gmail.com
Thank you so much!
If I understand you correctly – you deleted a deck on AnkiWeb, and at that point you had never synced your AnkiWeb collection to another device. Is that correct?
If so, the only thing I could restore for you would be the most recent AnkiWeb server-side backup, which was created last week – click here for timestamp in your local time zone. Please confirm if you want me to restore that version of your collection to your account.
Yes, that is correct. Please restore that version of my collection to my account. Thank you so much!
I’ve restored that version to your account.
On your next sync, you will need to choose download from AnkiWeb and it will overwrite the collection you currently have in desktop Anki.
If there’s anything you want to save from that collection, you’ll need to preserve that by exporting it first – Syncing with AnkiWeb - Anki Manual – then after you sync you can re-import to merge the collections.
