Deleting Attachments Before Post

[jonhop]

Dear Moderators,

I attempted to delete an attached picture in a reply to a thread I started and couldn't figure it out. Instead, I inadvertently deleted the whole thread regarding my loose valve spacer event. I used the moderation action at the bottom with the attachment highlighted thinking that would delete it. Prior to that, I abandoned the post, came back in, and clicked reply only to have the attachment and draft post populate the opened response window. Any chance of recovering the thread?

Thanks,

Jon
