help - zotero syncinc deleted my library?

LvanKeimpema
Hello,

I synced my zotero to a new online account. It did give me a message that all synced documents would be lost, but as my own library wasnt synced, I assumed my library would be intact. However, I was wrong and it seems my own llibrary (which i build for a few years) is not in my zotero. Can I recover it? I checked my computer's recycling bin, but not sure it's there. Any help will be much appreciated! thank you!

    When you switched the account set up for syncing, Zotero warned you that it would delete all local data for the old account, required you to check a checkbox saying "Remove all data for “[old account]” from this computer", and said to make sure you either had uploaded any data to the old account before continuing or had a backup of your Zotero data directory.

    Assuming one of those is the case, you can restore by either switching back to the old account or restoring from the backup.
