Here’s how you can proceed to try to recover your deleted deck:

  1. Follow the backup guide your moderator linked
    Open this article and go through it step‑by‑step:
    :backhand_index_pointing_right: https://community.ankihub.net/t/how-to-restore-from-backup/280705

  2. Key points from that process (summary)
    In Anki on your computer:

    • Go to File → Switch Profile… and choose your usual profile.
    • Then File → Open Backup…
    • Choose a backup from before you deleted the deck.
    • Open it and check if the missing deck is there.
    • If it is, either:
      • Keep using that restored backup as your main collection, or
      • Export just that deck as an .apkg and import it into your current collection.

  3. If this is an AnkiHub deck
    After restoring from backup, open Anki and:

    • Make sure the AnkiHub add‑on is enabled.
    • Run AnkiHub → Sync to re-link everything with AnkiHub.

If you run into any step that doesn’t look like in the guide (for example, no suitable backup exists or the deck isn’t in any backup), please reply with:

  • Whether it’s an AnkiHub deck (and which deck), or a purely local deck.
  • What you see when you go to File → Open Backup… (a screenshot helps).

I can then suggest the next best option based on that.
