I accidentally deleted a deck from my AnkiWeb collection, then mistakenly synced AnkiDroid, which propagated the deletion. I need to recover the deck from before the deletion. There is no usable older AnkiDroid backup. by the way i dont have that file on ankiwindows on my laptopn i only had it on ankiweb and ankidroid and i lost it and tries ctrl+z and to recover from backups but couldnt. the deck was very important and i spent months doing it. thanks

I want to make sure I understand. This was a deck that you created directly on AnkiWeb – and you had not synced AnkiDroid or desktop Anki in a very long time (for _months_?), so they had never gotten a version of it. Is that right?

I also need to confirm – are we talking about the AnkiWeb account connected to the email address you used to post here?
