Title: Hi,
So hopefully someone who works at Facebook can actually follow up with this. She's not sure where to ask and neither am I.<p>Basically, due to unfamiliarity with how iPhoto works on her Mac she was having disk issues and wanted to try and tidy up her system. Knowing that her photos were also uploaded on Facebook she tried to delete her photos from her system. However, because the photos were uploaded from iPhoto to Facebook doing a delete on iPhoto[1] causes all the images to be deleted from Facebook, including all comments.<p>She's pretty devastated as she has now lost the last 5+ years of her digital life (university, travelling, wedding) memories and comments with friends. (An interesting aside, but I think she thought she had backups by using iPhoto and Facebook.)<p>I've suggested that she attempts to do a "Download" of her Facebook account but I doubt this will help.<p>Is there a magical switch at Facebook that might help recover these images? I assume since most operations are done under a soft delete for weeks+ that the photos must be to some extent recoverable.<p>If you are able to help, drop a comment or contact me in the email on my profile. Every little upvote helps.<p><pre><code>     [1] : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2432</code></pre>
