How to restore: Database intact but folders deleted

Unfortunately, it seems that you have now learned the hard way that you should not:

  • trust only your web hosting company to keep your data intact, or
  • keep your backups on your web server.

Sadly, restoring your WordPress installation — if at all possible — will most likely not be easy!

  • You might be able to retrieve the image files that were stored in those directories from the cached versions of the individual pages/posts inside Google’s cache.
  • In the unlikely event that your site was implemented solely via unmodified theme/plugins, then remembering which ones they were and reinstalling them will restore much of the directory contents. However, any customizations made to the PHP files are almost surely lost.
