Wholesale Collections Missing from my Library
Hi Zotero community,
I recently got a new PC and, after downloading Zotero and syncing with my account, realized that a bunch of my collections have gone missing. They were all added after 2016, and I am pretty sure I was logged on to my Zotero account when I added them on my previous PC, which had auto-synchronization turned on. I am also positive that I did not delete any sub-libraries from it.
It seems more than just a syncing issue since I'm also unable to locate these collections and the entries in my library online. Interestingly, however, a few entries that were added after 2015 do show up as "uncategorized" in the library.
Has anyone experienced the same issue before? I'd really love to recover my beloved libraries...Thanks so much!

Also, I'm raising this because as I mentioned, some (not all) files were indeed synced, between early 2016 and 2017, though only a tiny fraction of what I actually added to the library. So I'm guessing it's more technical than...human error on my end?
Do you happen to have a backup of your old computer at all?
