Deleted 'shadow' of topic, and it also deleted topic!

Someone posted a topic in the wrong forum, so I moved it, creating a shadow in the original place.

But then I decided I didn't want the shadow, went to the shadow and deleted the topic.

Then both disappeared!!!

Crud. Two questions:

-Is it possible to remove a shadow without removing both?
-Is there any way for me to get that topic back?

If you delete the shadow it will delete the topic ware it was moved to because they are one of the same topic. the best thing to do is to either move and don't leave a shadow. or delete the moved post then go back to the shadow post move again but do not leave a shadow.

or you can just move the shadow post to the basket.But the best way to avoid all that is just to move the post and never leave a shadow.

hope that helps
