I was already on the edge of a mental breakdown, trying to take a little time off, when a massive storm rolled in and pushed me straight into another one. My heart was pounding, I was sweating for no reason, yelling at the universe \u2014 the whole thing was a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strawberriesandbutter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/copilot_image_177923673633611.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strawberriesandbutter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/copilot_image_177923673633611.jpg 479w, https:\/\/www.strawberriesandbutter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/copilot_image_177923673633611-300x238.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And right in the middle of all that, while working inside Plesk (yes, I\u2019ve officially graduated from cPanel \u2014 we\u2019re in the big leagues now), I somehow managed to delete my entire website. Not a file. Not a folder. The whole thing. Gone.

One error log, five minutes of downtime, and a whole lot of unnecessary panic.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strawberriesandbutter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1000028750-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strawberriesandbutter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1000028750-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/www.strawberriesandbutter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1000028750-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www.strawberriesandbutter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1000028750.png 1086w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>It was honestly one of the most jinxed, storm\u2011soaked, meltdown\u2011adjacent two days I\u2019ve had in ages.
