Upgrade StorageData location? How to Reconnect?
I cannot figure out to reconnect to my data after I had to clean my hard drive and reinstall Zotero. Can someone help me connect to and upload my previous datafile to Zotero?
Currently when I open Zotero, I do not see any of my previous information. I only see an empty "My Library."
When I go to the Advanced Tab and click on "Show Data Directory" I can see the following files in the local disk folder of my hard drive files C:Users\Name\Zotero: zotero.sqlite, zotero.sqlite.bak, and zotero.sqlite-journal. However, I do not know if these are my data files, and if they are, I cannot figure out how to get the reinstalled Zotero program to read the one that contains my data.
Can someone help?
Thank you!

I was able to follow the instructions in the links. Turned out there was another location with the previous Zotero folder. Once I moved the old folder into the default directory, and removed the new Zotero folder that was there, all of the links and files appeared!!
Thank you very much!!
