 * HAAALP!
   OK, I am an utter idiot that is not quite awake. I have managed to delete
   the wrong database and managed to delete my whole website (!!)Jeeez, I feel like
   I left my mother in charge of the tech :/
 * On the plus side I have updraft back-ups of the db and files etc, but I can’t
   get into the wordpress dashboard to reinstate these, and can’t work out how/where
   to upload these to.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frestoring-a-deleted-database%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * PS. I am hosted on IONOS, and I still have access to that dashboard, and the 
   database management menu (from where I did the fat-fingered stupid deed) but 
   can’t see any restore options
   The UpdraftPlus backup files are recent (today)
   and of the full website, so there’s one .gz folder of the db, and 25 others of
   all the uploads, themes, plugins, etc.

 * for guidance about restoring backups created using UpDrafts Plus plugin – please
   start a topic for the plugin’s support team.
