As pi:

pi@raspberrypi:~ cd /home/pi/.node-red pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red ls
flows_raspberrypi_cred.json lib package.json
flows_raspberrypi.json node_modules settings.js
pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red $

As root:

root@raspberrypi:~# cd /home/pi/.node-red
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/.node-red# ls
flows_raspberrypi_cred.json lib package.json
flows_raspberrypi.json node_modules settings.js
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/.node-red#

From your paste when you logged in as root:

Do you see it is picking up a different flows file?

There should be no need to run Node-RED as root or using the sudo command. It will cause you more problems.

I suggest you look at the size of the files in the two .node-red directories
/root/.node-red
and
/pi/.node-red

to work out which one you were using with your old flows.

24

could you please show me how to see the size? with command or explorer ?

Best Response. This should be highlighted for newbies ( like me ). Was pulling my hair out...
