Sys Admin lost access to community

Question

When I configured community on my Org I removed System Admin (me) profile from Community Members (see the screenshot 1)

So neither System Admin not anybody else can manage, modify or delete this community

How to get access to community back?

If you have local copy of the project in sfdx including "networks" - it's simpler to restore access by redeploying 1 file. Cleaner than this official help article with url hacking...

Make sure your package.xml contains

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>*</members>
        <name>Network</name>
    </types>
    <version>51.0</version>
</Package>

And then the file will be something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Network xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <!-- bla bla bla -->
    <gatherCustomerSentimentData>false</gatherCustomerSentimentData>
    <lockoutTemplate>Community/CommunityUserLocked</lockoutTemplate>
    
    <networkMemberGroups>
        <permissionSet>Feature1Access</permissionSet>
        <permissionSet>Feature2Access</permissionSet>
        <profile>admin</profile>                    <!-- System Administrator access here -->
        <profile>secret client name user</profile>
    </networkMemberGroups>
    
    <!-- bla bla bla -->
    <picassoSite>Client_Portal1</picassoSite>
    <!-- bla bla bla -->
</Network>
