 * hi there – not sure I follow you, but everything got deleted and you reinstalled?
 * If you have FTP access, see if you have an ‘uploads’ folder under ‘wp-content’
 * There isn’t a folder named ‘temporary’ in the WordPress package that I’m aware
   of.
 * It is crucial to figure out backups from your hosting company as well as a plugin
   like [UpdraftPlus backup](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/).
 * If you can backup your theme files, database and uploads, you should be able 
   to reinstall WP and restore your files.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Hi,
 * Check if there is a “uploads” folder under wp-content.
 * If folder does not exist then create “uploads” folder and then create one more
   folder named “2014” under uploads . Create folder named “11” under 2014 folder.
 * uploads/2014/11
