Deleting items from the GUI just deactivates them in the database.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to reactivate Media Types
from the GUI. However, you can reactivate them directly from the database:
To view deleted (deactivated) media types:
SELECT * FROM media_type WHERE NOT active;
To reactivate all deleted media types:
UPDATE media_type SET active = true WHERE NOT active;
Or for a specific media type:
UPDATE media_type SET active = true WHERE name="application/pdf"
