How to recover decks that you accidentally deleted on AnkiDroid (Android phone)?

I accidentally deleted the contents of a deck, can I still recover it?

You can undo it in the top right corner. Or.

Do you have a backup saved? I forgot where that settings is, but you should refer to the manual - AnkiDroid User Manual

If you missed the chance to Undo – you can either –

  • Restore an automatic backup on AnkiDroid – you’ll lose any reviews and changes you made since that backup was created.

    • If you just want to grab one thing from a backup (like the text of a template, or one deck out of many, or a set of notes/cards that use a particular note type), you can minimize data loss by importing the backup into a brand new (temporary) profile on Anki desktop, find what you’re looking for, copy/export it, and then import it into your main profile.

  • Force a one-way sync and download from AnkiWeb – you’ll lose any reviews and changes you made since your last sync.
