Not sure exactly what I did but I was trying to sync my iphone and iPad decks. The process was taking a while so I deleted the decks I downloaded and kept the ones I made. After it worked, all decks on iPad and iphone were gone. They also arent showing up on my desktop version. Any help would be huge. Thanks

I recommend restoring your cards from an automatic backup in the desktop version, and then sync from computer \> mobile devices.

You don’t appear to be a desktop user, but you should be able to restore from a backup created by AnkiMobile.
