### What issue or error are you experiencing?

HI,  
Today I opened Local and found it up to date, and my sites had been deleted.  
I tried to import the site by compressing the files and then uploading them to Local, but it failed  
Please, Help Me  
THANKS

### What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

* * *

### System Details

- **Local Version:**  
Version 8.0.0+6475
- **Operating System (OS) and OS version:**  
Windows 10

* * *

### Local Logs

Attach your Local Logs here ([Help Doc - Retrieving Local’s Log](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/retrieving-locals-log-file/))

_ **Security Reminder** _  
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @hatemfrere

If you’re still able to see your site files you should be able to reimport them with the steps here:

> **[Import/Export a WordPress Site](https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/how-to-import-a-wordpress-site-into-local/#restore-local-site-from-site-files)**
>
> This help document will walk you through how to import and export a site to and from Local. It will also go over how to restore from only Local site files. Table of Contents: Local is pretty flexible…

If that doesn’t work you can use the steps on the same document for Manual Restoring as well to get them reloaded.
