Recover an Accidentally Deleted Post on Blogger

While it may take hours to write a lengthy and well thought out blog post, you never know when you accidentally hit the delete button while saving or modifying your work -- And Poof!, all your previous work is gone.


You my have lost a post that was in draft or a previously published one. Fortunately, in both cases you can still recover or retrieve the post that was deleted unintentionally. There are several ways to do so:

Recovering a Post in draft / Unpublished:


If your post was in draft and got deleted, you need to find its URL:

  • Depending on your browser, navigate to the your browser history and start looking for the link to the draft post.



Once you've found, you are most likely to retrieve it. 

Recovering a published post:

If your post was published earlier, you have two places to look for:

    1. Search Engine Cache:

All popular search engines maintain the cache of indexed pages. To access the cache of your blog, enter the following and click the cache button right next to the results.

site:yourblogurl.com
For example: site:chili-pie.blogspot.com

    2. Blog Feeds:

If your blog publishes feeds, subscribe to your own feeds using Google Reader (google.com/reader) or any other similar feed readers and recover your post.

Good Luck!
