I have deleted a Document Type that was still used by a node in my Content Tree. Since I didn't get a message of nodes using the Document Type, I was under the impression that the node would become invalid or be moved to the Recycle Bin. The problem is that the node is removed completely, including all its children.
Is there a way to restore this? I still see the documents in the database.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to show a warning when this situation occurs? Or prevent deletion when there are still documents of the particular type?
Thanks for the help, guys. A weird issue indeed! I hope this will be addressed in a next release.
The text contents are still in the database (table cmsPropertyData), but I don't feel comfortable manually editing the database. Any thoughts? Otherwise, I'll just recreate the documents from start. Lukily, most work was done in creating the templates and style sheets.
Another issue arises here that worries me a bit. There's now data in the database, that seems to be inaccessible to Umbraco. Are there any debugging/cleaning tools available that check for these kinds of record?
Nodes disappeared after deleting document type
Using Umbraco 4.0.3, ASP.NET 2.0

I'm afraid that deleting a document type seems to delete all nodes associated with it. See http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/7462-Entire-Website-Vanished?p=1
