I’m suddenly unable to access my admin (blank page), and my log is showing 404 errors for all files in `/ghost/assets/`. I’ve also checked my server and confirmed that folder no longer exists.

Just before this happened, I’d used `ghost doctor` to fix a permissions error inside my custom theme, and the admin had been working normally up to that point.

```
Ghost-CLI version: 1.13.1
Ghost version: 3.9.0

```

Console errors, for reference:

Update: I ran `ghost update` in hopes that it would rebuild what was missing, and that seems to have worked. I’m still not sure what caused it in the first place, but at least it was a simple fix.

Phew!!! You saved me with the suggestion to run `ghost updated`. Appreciate you for coming back and sharing!
