The icon will stay there but become a dead link, I believe. Will hit the 404 page when you try to go to it.

The general rule of thumb is that, once a file has been deleted off the marketplaces, it cannot be re-uploaded again. I guess you could indeed contact support, but don’t bet your files on it ;)

From my understanding after writing support, you can have your items relisted on the site after 6 months of removing the files.

No. Items that are deleted are deleted PERMANENTLY . You cannot restore them. Sales and ratings don’t leave. :)

Really? Because if I do remember correctly, there was a bug not too long ago and when I went to my portfolio it showed all of my deleted items that were deleted at the beginning of last year (2011). So if they were premantly removed, than why were they showing up within the backend of the site? There many other people on the forums that were talking about the same thing with them seeing their old items in their portfolio.

They can be seen in the hidden tab, after a while they vanish from there as well. That’s what I know. If not, I am most certain it’s a bug, as if you delete a file it is permanent
