What is 'Media'?
Media is where all the documents that are used by the system are stored. It is not an area that you need to touch. If you are adding any kind of resources, documents or images you should be adding them through the Resources option on the left hand side of the screen.
Once you upload something to a Local Resource it will be stored in the Media area (incase you want to add the same thing to multiple Local Resources)
However if something has be uploaded and since gone missing, you should be able to find it here.
