I was inside my boyfriend’s account and deleted his deck as I thought it was my account and didn’t realize it. I don’t have any backup. How can I recover it?
I have the email he uses to log in but can’t find any way.
To get his collection back to where it was before –
- If you want to roll-back changes you’ve made just now (and haven’t closed or synced since then) – Edit > Undo [Ctrl Z] the change. [If you select it from the menu Anki will describe which change it is reversing with each click (useful when you can’t see it happening!).]
- If you want to roll-back changes made longer ago than that – Option A: Restore from an automatic or manual backup [but you’ll lose any reviews and changes you’ve 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, find what you’re looking for, copy/export it, and then import it into your main profile.
- If you want to roll-back changes made longer ago than that – Option B: Force a one-way sync and download from AnkiWeb [but you’ll lose any reviews and changes you’ve made since your last sync].
