I mistakenly deleted screenshots from the cloud. Is it possible to get them back?

Can I contact Steam support? Or are they just gone forever? :c

Have you checked the steam screenshot uploader? Select a game to check for screenshots
If they are still there open the uploader and at the bottom view on disc.

They are still there; is it possible I can re-upload them to the steam cloud?

Why store them in Cloud rather than an external USB drive?
I got a 5TB USB Seagte expansion drive and backup all of Steam.

I just like having a backup online is all.

There is no such thing as 'safe' online.

Keep extra copies on hard drives. backups that you can physically move around >>>> cloud anywhere. Remember, "there's no cloud, just other people's computers".

I never said it was perfectly safe online. And I don't really care about my screenshots enough to do that. Its easier to make a backup online by uploading them to the cloud when I take them, and I get to share them with my friends simultaneously.

I've had backups of my screenshots online for 5 years now and I've had no issues. I did have some non-Steam screenshots in my pictures folder, but they--no joke--just disappeared one day without warning. They weren't deleted, they just disappeared and I couldn't find a fix to bring them back.

You might be right in some aspects, but in my experience its much easier and safer to have them online instead of on my hard drive.

Yes, this is a known issue, there've been cases of this popping up pretty regularly in the last year or so.

I'd say google docs, heck even just start a Deviantart account. it's free, anyway, so... nothing to lose. You can stick them in 'scraps' and no one even needs to see em.

If you save an Uncompressed copy of your screenshots, it will save them to another location in your PC. They can also be compressed to save disc space and/or, moved to another system/usb drive or, external hdd/cloud of your own. That option is in your settings.
