post we will consider different cases in which you or someone deleted it. Whenever
you delete a blog post a screen will pop-ups and ask you for confirmation “Are
you sure you want to delete the selected post(s)?” the choice is yours.
Case 1:- Let’s assume you are writing a blog post directly from blogger compose mode and you haven’t yet published it. Now in case if you or someone closed that window then you can easily recover it from your drafts. Blogger saves all your unpublished post in drafts and also before closing that window you will be reminded like this one below. So case 1 is not a big deal.
Case 2:- Take this example again that you are writing a lengthy blog post straight from your editor and it is not yet published but it is saved in draft. Now just after modifying the draft you deleted it for some reason and you are thinking to recover it back. Keep in mind that Blogger stores all unpublished posts in drafts but it doesn’t stores deleted drafts in a separate trash files, anyhow you can recover that by just finding the post URL.

Finding Post URL From Browser History
Just after deleting your blog post view your browser history
by clicking CTRL + H or Shift + CTRL + H. You will now see your
recent browsing activities, click on view >> sort it by last visited and
you will find your drafted post or edited post. Opening that post will bring
you back all the content and images but when you hit publish or save to draft
you will get an error message. So all you can do is copy the content from HTML
editor, create a new post, paste it and then publish your post.
Case 3:- Assume that you have published an article named
“The most memorable moment in my life” that is 2, 3 weeks back or may be very
older and when trying to clear some junk posts from your blog you accidentally
deleted that post along with those. Since the post is more than 2 weeks older
you can easily recover that one from Internet cache.
