After not being able to deploy my new Flow, all of my flows were gone. I still have the Backup data of my flows. What should i do now? Had anyone the same problem yet?

What happened? why were you not able to deploy. What did you see on screen?
Can you go to your `.node-red` directory and run `ls -la`, then post either a screenshot or copy/paste the results.
Also if you stop node-RED, then restart it and copy the node-RED log here also.
When posting logs, flows or code in the forum, [please read this first](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) about how to do so, **otherwise the forum software will change your upload**.

Dear Paul,
Thank you for your answer i already fixed it:).
I was working on a project, editing my function node after that i was not able to deploy… already had that problem once so i wanted to delete the whole flow where the problem was taking part —\> all of the flows were gone (because i made a mistake deleting the wrong file) so i got kinda nervous and wasnt able to import my backup (saved before deleting) because i was very nervous and not able to think clear… but now its working again. Long Story short…it was my mistake and i was kinda „dumb“
