Protocol should load them automatically if they are missing.
Is your profile folder (with avatarscache) writable?
And what paths do you want to fix?

Have you tried restart Miranda?
Do you have enabled avatars in Tipper?
Do you see avatars in contact list or chat (tabsrmm/scriver/...) window? If not, do you have enabled avatars in options? (section contacts/avatars or customize/avatars, I don't remember)

If you deleted files from AvatarsHistory folder, then they are gone forever. That's why you see blank entries in avatars history menu - the files doesn't exists anymore.

Yes Yes and Yes:)
The solution was is to delete a ContactPhoto and AvatarsHistory and else of the plugins that is related to avatars.
And now avatars show up everywhere! Thanks!

You have to do it manually. You can use filtering in History++ to help you with that (show only avatar events, so you can select them and delete all at once).

No. It's not possible to determine what database entry is used and what is not.
