Recovering library after messing things up

brunopgastal

Hi everyone. While trying to configure Zotero to sync my files through Zotmoov, I messed something up and kind of lost my whole library. I still have a .xml and a .rdf backups but they are not working perfectly either. Also, my data directory seems intact, with all the .pdf files and a number of items and total size that are compatible with the size of my previous library, but I haven't been able to restore my library on the app based on this folder.

I was wondering if it is possible to somehow recover the history of my library through the servers or whatever. Or else would appreciate any guidance, since I am kind of desperate as of know.

It looks like you have lots of items in the trash. If those are what you're looking for, you can just restore those from the trash.

Otherwise, if you just did this, you may be able to restore from one of the automatic backups.
