Media all lost need it restored

Hello, I recently accidentally deleted my unused media as there was a syncing issue with one of my decks. Now all my media is lost even though I restored my collection media. I cannot get it to go back to my Anki profile. Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you!

When you say you “restored” it, did you do that using the “Restore Deleted” button in the Check Media dialog? Do you see those files in your collection.media folder in your profile (click “View Files” to jump there quickly)? Or do you see them in your media.trash folder (next-door to collection.media in the same location)?
