this file http://the5krunner.files.wordpress.com/201 2/09/london_duathlon_20121.xlsx was linked to and used fine until today i got a comment saying the link was no longer valid from a visitor.
where has it gone please? I haven’t deleted it. i haven’t even uploaded any extra content since the date of the original upload.

Which file are you referring to? Why do you assume a Volunteer could assist you when you provide so little information to work with? Please provide details so we can help.

Hi I didn’t assume a volunteer could help with so little info I just pressed enter a bit to early :-)

Hi again,
I multitask from work so I do know what you mean by clicking too early. :)
So the file is a .xls, .xlsx (Microsoft Excel Document)
Did you use this guide?

Did you delete it from your Media Library ie. delete it from the WordPress.com servers? It can’t be displayed unless it’s in your Media Library. -
i didn’t use the guide no. i think i know wordpress reasonably well .. but you never know ;-)
it was working over the last few days but then today a visitor said the link was no longer working (so yes the file presumably is deleted) but i certainly haven’t deleted it over the last few days.
and i don’t have a local copy

There’s your answer. If it’s not in your Media Library then it cannot be displayed.

Well that’s not strictly true methinks :-)
for example this file
http://the5krunner.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/the5krunner-and-danielstables-v3.xlsm
is also not in my media library and yet it can be seen and is linked to from other posts I have made. I have links to several other similarly-stored spreadsheets which all work. There are only jpeg/png images in my media library and no other file types (well that is what the wordpress interface tells me but i don’t think it’s true).
this file WAS DEFINITELY there and I have DEFINITELY not deleted it:
http://the5krunner.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/london_duathlon_20121.xlsxany thoughts
really I guess I’m asking how can i have the file restored from a backup.
the file is the work of about 5 hours of my time and is little benefit to me personally…but people using my website want to see it :-(
