thanks @Colin
I ended up exporting the flows as json, and of all things I used windows notepad and replaced the words. Saved the file.
Deleted my running flows in Node-Red (except for 1, which I renamed delete), imported the new file, deleted the "delete" flow, and restarted the flows (no error messaged) and then I tested it and it works perfectly!
This can be considered closed and solved, thanks to you all!

How are you doing backups if you don't know where the flows and other files are? Perhaps you use a whole system backup of course.
Remember a disc drive or computer can go up in smoke (literally or metaphorically) at any time.

A couple of ways i back up: just manually export and save the json files for all flows when i do major changes to it AND, as you guessed, home assistant does full system backups, every few days, locally and on the cloud .
I should confirm if HA actually does save my flows...it should .
