Lost access to 2 website projects after reinstalling windows

Hi, I need help please. I had been working on two websites, but unfortunately Windows crashed and I had to reinstall it. Of course I also had to reinstall local, after reinstallation I lost access to my two projects, actually I believe I lost also the projects themselves. They are not visible on reinstalled local, they are visible on the elementor pron (which I use to work) page as hosted by third party.I tried to recover them by entering from the elementor page, but it is impossible. Is there any possibility that I can recover previous projects? Thanks!


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

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.

Sorry to hear about Windows crashing, @salamis.

If you happen to have a backup of your old Windows user files you could look for those sites in the Local Sites folder, then try to re-import them as described here.

On Windows the Local Sites folder you’d need to find from your backups will be at This PC → [your harddrive] → Users → [your username] → Local Sites.
