Where can I locate my old Zotero files

Primestar

I upgraded my Zotero to version 7. Before that, I backed up my files, hoping to import them to the new version. After the upgrade, I could not import the backed-up files because they were not saved in bib texe format. I have a lot of files in the old version, and I no longer use my old email. How can I get my old files back, please?

You don't need to and shouldn't import anything into Zotero 7 — it will just use the existing Zotero data directory, as long as you were using Zotero 6 on this computer.

If this is a different computer, see Transferring a Library. Don't use export and import.

Thank you for this. Now trying to locate the data.
