Sites Disappeared from Local – Files Still Present on My Computer

Thanks for your reply, @AlexandreBeust. Are you on Windows 10 or 11?

If you see an “unexpected token” error and can’t import your zip files, you can try:

  1. Quit Local.
  2. Open the Windows File Explorer.
  3. Make sure you have enabled “show hidden items”.
  4. Browse to This PC → [your hard drive] → Users → [your username] → AppData → Roaming → Local.
  5. Rename the sites.json file (it might just appear as ‘sites’) to sites-backup.json.
  6. Rename the sites-organization.json file to sites-organization-backup.json.
  7. Start Local. It will load without displaying sites, but you can import them again from the link in my previous reply.

If you need further help, please can you share your OS and Local logs?
