We are having the same problem only we deleted the
main 'Sites' area. But I have tried your method. You
can't create again a site that has already been deleted.
If I create subarea and give it the same name Sites - it
says the site does not exist.
Is there any way to make it exist again? I have a whole
lot of sites not attached to anywhere because the sites
page does not exist.
Shouldn't this be a part that you shouldn't be able to
delete or you should be able to get back????? Please
help...
