I formatted my comp and reinstalled windows 10. I downloaded Zotero but I lost all my data except for four files. is there a way I can retrieve the rest of the data. It is very urgent as it is for my current research. Kindly assist.

If you erased your disk and weren't previously syncing your Zotero data, which it appears you weren't, you'd need to restore from a backup:
