Question

Deleted an entire CC library and it was entirely too easy

WHY is it so easy to delete an entire library?! This is my fault - but there is a single button click that does not have any additional "hey really think before you do this!" color or urgency indicator symbols, etc -- that just allowed me to delete years and years of hundreds and hundreds of pieces of work for my most valuable, consistent client. This is a MASSIVE blow to my productivity and I IMPLORE you, Adobe, to add sirens and a failsafe to a person who is working tired and may try to delete a single library and item and delete the entire thing. OR ~ at least send the files from a deleted library to the deleted files folder! Please digital gods let there be a way out of this monumental pickle. SH*T!!!

you should backup your important files, adobe and otherwise. 

 

adobe's cloud services are not a backup service.  they facilitate file sharing.
