Deleted Faces in Lightroom Facial Recognition

I have accidentally deleted a few faces in Lightroom facial recognition and I'm hoping someone can help me get them back. I was changing the name of one of my faces, and when I got the cursor at the end of the name (or so I thought), I hit the delete button a few times intending to delete the letters in the name. Instead, I deleted several faces which had many photos attributed to them! Any ideas?

Hiya,

if you have the keywords penal open when you have the photo open, does it show any faces there? (Is that where you deleted them from initially?)

I actually deleted them from the list of named people. You can open this by clicking the button on the bottom left that looks like a person.

Assumng you mean in the Cloud Based Lightroom, the square should re-sort within 24 hours and re-assign to a Person or say Add Name.

Thank you for your help, Selondon! It has been 5 days and I;m still waiting for it to re-sort. Ugh. If you have other ideas, please let me know.

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the LRn forum so that proper help can be offered.
