Entire Library Missing

afeliccia · August 10, 2021

An entire shared library is missing on my Zotero. It was not deleted, at it is not in trash and is very unlikely to have been deleted. The files that I remember being in the folder do seem to still be found in the overarching library. Is there any way to try and restore or refind a folder? It does not seem to have been moved to another subfolder.

See Locating Missing Zotero Data. As explained there, this generally happens when people use a disk-cleaning tool and accidentally delete the Zotero database. Files often wouldn't be in the trash in that case.
