Upgrade StorageData lost
Dear Zotero,
This evening I was trying to uninstall zotero 6 and just have zotero 7 on my laptop. I used an uninstaller app, and I think that removed my zotero data - my zotero 7 force quit itself and after I reopened, everything was gone. I tried to have a read at the instructions you posted but I'm just so confused and not sure what to do. Could you kindly have a look for me?
1. My laptop has two zotero folders, I assume 'Zotero default' is the one corresponding to Zotero 7. It has a zotero.sqlite already, but I pasted the one in my bin into the folder as well (which is now named zotero.sqlite copy), is that the right thing to do?

2. I tried moving the files in the bin back to the original Zotero folder (which corresponds to zotero 6). I am not really sure what to do with them, as well as the big folder itself.

3. When I try to open the paper I was reading before all this happened, this is what's shown:

But it seems like the file is still available on my ipad...? Is there a way for me to sync everything like how it's sync-ed on my ipad? I have previously linked my account to my onedrive space - would the data be retrieved from there?
4. I tried to at least re-install the plugins I had and set them up, but once I downloaded Zotero Style, it won't even let me customise the bar. As soon as I right-click, it would choose an item instead.

Sorry if this post is all over the place or if I am doing all the wrong things. I am very very confused right now and would really appreciate any help I can get!
Many thanks for your time.
Best wishes,
Vicky
