Deleting blobs folder produce 'Could not find a part of the path' exception
It seems the disk is by default the storage of the binary data of the images in Media asset (FileBlobProvider). The database contains only metadata, e.g. the references to the file system. So if somebody accidentally delete the blobs folder on the disk there is no way how to restore it and all images must be uploaded to the CMS once again.

How can I recreate the blobs folder structure to get the site working again?
