Please Blogger, Restore My Deleted Blog!
Recently, we've seen a lot of bloggers admitting to their mistakes.
I deleted the wrong blog! I had two, one was a duplicate of the other, but I wanted to keep the one that I deleted! Help!!or
I had my two year old on my lap. She grabbed the mouse, and deleted my blog while I was talking on the phone. What do I do now?And the answer, up to today, was
Post the URL of the blog, and we will see if Gatsby will read here, and take pity on you.
Today, that changed.
So there is the "Delete This Blog" selection.
Dare I?
OK, it's gone. I go to the end of the dashboard blog list, select "View all blogs", and there it is listed. And the important link "Undelete this blog".
So, it says that it was restored?
Seeing is believing!
As long as you don't delete the account that owns the blog, you can get the blog back.
Please, do not delete the owning account.
(Update 3/30): Blogger did build in good support for team blogs, and undelete ability.

My old blog name was www.wcapsoldier.blogspot.com..it says now the account has been disabled..am I going to be able to retrieve my blog again seeing I have deleted it? Thanks

If you deleted the account that owned the blog, you're going to have to have that account restored. If Blogger deleted the account, for TOS violation, you're going to have to appeal the violation.
Hi,
That is fantastic.It is a real utility. Nice informative post. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the help, right now I have 4 separate blogs running loose all cloned off of my original I did get my original back though so progress was made. Thanks Again
What if you deleted the owning google account?
Peter,
If you deleted the owning account, you have to get the owning account restored.
This is helpfull informaton because I'm recently getting blog delete by just right now.
What about recovering deleted posts?
Erok,
I suspect that deleted posts may not be recoverable. Did you not see the warning "This action cannot be undone."?
How do you go about restoring a Google account? I deleted my account with the blog I wanted to keep (accidentally).
When does the name become available again if you deleted it four or five months ago? Thanks
Cassandra,
When Blogger introduced the "Un Delete My Blog" option, they stated that it would be effective for up to 90 days. Presumably, after 90 days the URL should be publicly available, but this being Blogger code, I'd take that with a grain of salt. Is the blog no longer on the dashboard with the Un Delete link?
Mr Chuck
I have a similar problem to the above poster. My blog was deleted about four months ago (for reasons i no longer understand!) but id like it back now as some of the posts were interesting and id like to get it back running. on the dashboard it makes no mention of any existing blog
'You are not an author on any blogs yet, create one now to start posting!'
which isnt too promising. however, in the blogs i am following, it lists my old blog and all the posts, so something tells me it still exists somewhere and i should be able to get it back.
have you any advice please?
Ric,
I see this report once or twice a day, and 3/4 of the time, it's because of inadvertent creation of a second Blogger account. If that's not helpful to you, please ask a new question in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, so we can help you using peer support.
