There are a few ways to recover your deleted posts. You can use the cache version of the app, backup the files, or use another software to backup posts
Let us take a brief look at the ways by which you can recover your deleted posts from Tumblr.
By using the Cache version of the app
You can find the text version of your deleted post by finding it on Google Cache. Although this isn’t a proven method, several others claim to have recovered their deleted posts by using it. What you need to do is;
Type the address of the URL of your deleted post in Chrome or any other web browser you use. Make sure to add “cache:” before the URL. If your post is backed up, you’ll see a cached version of it.
By backing up your posts in advance
You can manually backup your posts and save them on your computer in case you need them in the future. What you need to do is;
Log in to your Tumblr account. Open the post you want to save; you’ll see a gear icon near it. Click the gear icon. Select the “Edit” option. Click on the HTML icon. You’ll see the HTML code of your post. Copy and paste this code into a text file and save it on your computer.
By this method, you can backup your posts but cannot retrieve any deleted posts.
By using a backup software
There is several backup software available at the app store or play store. These apps act as a secondary backup storage option and you can save any of your files in case you lose them in the future and want to retrieve them. let us take a look at some of these apps;

To find your Tumblr post, type its URL in the search bar and press “Browse History”. You’ll see your deleted post in the result. You can recover it now to your device.
Why does Tumblr deactivate accounts or delete posts?
As one of the famous micro-blogging apps that allow their users to share different multimedia content; they have to make sure that none of the content shared violates their rules and regulations. If they find a user posting pornographic content or hate/violence posts; the user’s account is suspended. No one knows how this policy works and what is the extent of posting such stuff.
Conclusion
Now you know what to do if Tumblr removes your post/account or you accidentally delete your post. It would be much better to make sure that all of your content is already backed up in case such a situation arises. But you shouldn’t post something that violates Tumblr’s rules and make sure to maintain a user-friendly environment on the app.
