I accidentally merged 160 items in my library and undo doesn't work. Is there any solution?

Hello,

I was trying to clean up my library searching for duplicate items. Apparently, I was passing a somnambulatory state and merged all 160 items that appeared with the duplicates. Zotero merged them all into one single entry with several different PDFs, which is a bit of a disaster. Is there any way to restore my library state just before I did this?
Unfortunately I don't have a recent hard disk backup, so this doesn't work.

Thanks in advance!
Best
Florian

    You can try restoring from one of your last automatic backups.

    Maybe you can restore them from the trash

    Or you save the pdf somewhere in a folder then put them in zotero so it creates new notices from the metadatas

    Thank you so much! I was able to restore from my last automatic backups, thanks a lot for your help. That saved me a lot of time trying to put my collection back in order!
