 * Hi, I assume you know how to use FTP or SFTP.
 * Which header.php that was accidentally got deleted ? If it’s one of your theme
   file, if you have your theme files on your local machine, I suggest you upload
   that using FTP/SFTP or even your Hosting File Manager. Same goes for another 
   header.php file, just remember on which directory that header.php was accidentally
   being deleted.

 * I’m having the same issue. However, I do not know anything about FTP or SFTP.
   I’m not that tech-savvy.
    Any simplified help would be wonderful. I did manage
   to copy the entirety of the header.php code before it was wiped though.
