SOLVED public_html turned into a text file

[Madli]

Hello!

I was trying to move a subdomain webpage to the main page. Zipped the subfolder files and moved into public_html and then the zip file disappeared and public_html is now a text file in my File Manager (attached). I have never seen this happen before. What to do?
Since there isn't a public_html folder I can't just redirect it either or reinstall WP.

Regards

Hello @Madli,

As a website owner, you should report this to your web hosting provider so they can restore the contents of your account's home directory or public_html directory from a recent backup archive.

Thank you.

Hello!
Thank you for replying. Just as you recommended, I contacted my web hosting provider. He told that he hasn't seen this before. But finally figured out what was the problem and restored it.
Thanks
