deleted music on my mac

I was creating a playlist on my Mac and inadvertently dragged my entire library of music into it. I went to delete the music from that list, but it instead then deleted all the music in my entire library. How can I restore it? The music is still on my iPhone and I do back-up to the cloud.

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11

You should be able to retire the library if you have been making Time Machine backups.

Syncing is meant to go from the computer to the iPhone, not the other way around. You can try this:
