    What files might the user have? Please explain this before trying anything else.

    Do you have a backup of your database? If there have been NO OTHER CHANGES in users (add/delete, password changes, etc.) since that backup, you could restore the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables.

    In that case, you need to create a new user and don’t try to restore anything,

    @sterndata But I need the pictures this is very important to me. Isn’t there another way to solve this?

    Are the pictures really deleted? Do you see them in wp-content/uploads/whatever? Or in the media library?

    When you deleted the user, did you assign the content to anyone else?

    In the words of the Guardian Knight in the crypt with all the Grail cups, “He choose poorly.” ??

    I think you need to restore the entire site (files and DB) from a recent backup and then scramble to add whatever content was added after that backup. This is beyond tweaking a few tables.
