Import a website, which was not exported explicitly

[pkdme.dev]

Hi,

I have a WPLocal website on a external disk. Unfortunately I had to format my OS, and now I have reinstalled WPLocal. I am aware of export and import feature. However, this site was not exported to be in a zip file. It has the original project structure and file (app, conf, logs folders). How can I create a new website in WPLocal through this.
Should I create a Blank site and replace the new site ?

Thanks & Regards
