I recently deleted my collection.media folder. I stupidly did so in order to download anking overhaul media collection (I had too many files with the same name to download it straight). I then thought I could collect the deleted media from Thrash and put it back, but now it won’t work. I suspect that all the media is there in the folder, but somehow anki cannot put them together with the right cards anymore. Any idea how to undo my mistake and get the media back as it was? ---

I have restored the recently deleted files on AnkiWeb. When you next sync, they should automatically download. ---
