I just told my buddy to delete those files which are unused in my web app but he deleted the default one's too. The files deleted were:

README.txt

.profile

.pythonstartup.py

.bash_history

.bashrc

.vimrc

.gitconfig

I got some of them back but still not all of them. Can you please tell me how to get those files back? As my bash is now not working the way it should. On more thing the command for the SSL installation pa_install_webapp_letsencrypt_ssl.py www.yourdomain.com says command not found, I think this is due to those deleted files. Can you please help?

Ok. I have replaced the default files (if they did not already exist) The letsencrypt install would fail because it might not be on the path if you'd deleted .bashrc.

Thank you!!!.

hey there,

This is so stupid, I updated some python modules and it just grew in size and the space quota was reach so i had to free up some space. I obtusely deleted some python core files and python3 is no longer accessible for me

I wanted to ask if my account could be reset or if there are some default files that I could replace everything with?

No problem, I've replaced the default files. You might have to start a fresh bash console to see the effects.

holy $h!t...! for real??? thanks for the help giles, you really made my day!

No problem, glad to help :-D

I'm new to python anywhere and stupidly did the same. Do you guys still have to put them back manually? If so could you please help or let me know how to get in contact with someone who can. :) Thanks.

No problem. I have restored your default files.

Thank you so much :)

Hello everyone,

I also deleted all default files, could you help me please.

Sure, no problem -- that's done now.

You are great, thanks...

I also deleted all the default files. Please help me.

It looks like the default files had already come back by the time we saw your message (certain actions that you take on the site can make that happen automatically) but I've re-initialized them just now to make sure.

I have the same issue, the default. files were deleted. Please assist me

Sure, no problem -- that's done now.

Thanx, You are great!

I have also deleted default files. Could you please help me

No problem. I have restored any default files that you may have deleted.

please restore my default files, from yesterday I was facing this problem and today I got to know error was coming because I have deleted default files.

I deleted the default files and now I am getting .local/bin/python3: No such file or directory can they be restored?

I have also deleted some default files accidentally. Would it be possible to restore for my account too?

No problem. I have restored any default files that you may have deleted.

Please restore the default files for my account too. Thanks

We generally don't restore default files for free users. You can create a new account, or, if you care about the username, request the current account deletion at support@pythonanywhere.com and then recreate it.

hi. Please restore the default files for my account too. Thanks

No problem. The default files for your account have been restored.

hi. i also ahve this issues and will appreciate if my account is also restored

@yungryce we don't restore free accounts -- the easiest way to have a fresh start is to create a new account. If you want to keep your username, you need to request the account's deletion first (please do that via the email at support@pythonanywhere.com).
