  I deleted a site year ago as I didn’t have the time to keep it up.
  the url was lettersfromaforgottenchildhood.home.blog
  I can’t find the back up I sent. I was wondering if anyone knew what to do.

  Hello,

  Sorry that you deleted and lost this information.
  Unfortunately, I think finding your backup is the best alternative.
  You can undelete a site within the first 30 days after a site is closed.

  Currently, the URL you shared is pointing elsewhere.
  I will tag the WordPress team, so we can find out if there is any other solution.

  Hi there @dionwood,

  
  @julinedossantos1 is correct. The site you are attempting to recover, https://lettersfromaforgottenchildhoodhome.wordpress.com/ has been deleted for more than 30 days, and as a result, has been purged and cannot be restored.
