The fact that they did delete it, and then tried to sell access to bupkis, is just the icing on the scummy corporate cake, eh?

From the story I was assuming that OP maybe had multiple accounts he forgot about or that he actually uploaded the images without logging in, and that’s why there were no images to be restored.

If the images actually were on the account and they deleted them, it would be crazy.

Yes, that's exactly it! I must have had multiple accounts. I don't think they deleted any of my images.
