How to Recover an Accidentally Deleted World

Restoring Your World File

If you ever change your mind after removing a world, the mod makes it easy to get your old files back. Because the mod sends deleted saves straight to your computer recycle bin or desktop trash folder instead of erasing them completely, your world folder is still saved on your computer.

Minimize or exit your game, then open the trash or recycle bin directly on your desktop. Locate the folder corresponding to the world you removed. You can easily restore your old world folder directly from your desktop trash back to its original location on your system. Once the files are restored to where Minecraft reads your saves, relaunch your game or return to the singleplayer menu, and your world will be right back in your list ready to play. This straightforward recovery process ensures that an accidental click or a moment of regret never permanently destroys your progress.
