Minecraft Bedrock Lost World

JR40_633 · Mar 26, 2025 at 3:23 AM

On PC - I opened the Minecraft launcher and tried to launch Bedrock (to play with my brother who's on XBox) - I got an error message saying 'Error trying to find the installed product'

Without really thinking I uninstalled Bedrock and reinstalled it, thinking the worlds were saved to my PC, not tied to the game itself. I was still having issues, it would load to 97% then crash, did some Googling and found out it was NordVPN that was causing that issue. Turned the VPN off, and when I finally got into Bedrock again, all my worlds were gone.

They're still available in the Quick Play menu, but when I try to launch it through there, it just takes me to the title screen with no worlds available. Is there a way to access that file a different way? I can't find it on my PC, would it be linked to my Microsoft account? If it is, where would I find it?

I saw a different post that said to 'Sync Old Worlds', but the only option I have on PC is to 'Import a world'

Hello JR40_633,

Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I apologize for a delay in response.

Sorry to hear your worlds were deleted. Your worlds on Bedrock for PC are saved on your local storage. If you will uninstall the game I'm afraid that will delete the files for the game including worlds. I'm sorry to say this but there is no way to recover them as they are not saved anywhere else other than your local storage.

Please do try to check your Bedrock folder if there is any world files in there so you can confirm.

1. Press the Windows key and R simultaneously.

2. Copy and paste %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang and press Ok.

3. Open minecraftWorlds.

I understand how frustrating it can be to lose worlds. Moving forward it is best to backup your minecraftWorlds folder manually to make sure you will not lose worlds again.

Together with Mojang support I found out the problem why I do not manage to import my saved worlds on my Xbox One X in the online purchased version of Minecraft.

The Minecraft Xbox One version that you can buy online in the Microsoft store is a different version than the Minecraft Xbox One version you buy in the store (DVD). The online version is the so-called Minecraft (bedrock code base on xbox one) version.

To import the saved worlds, you first need to export the worlds on the Xbox 360 Minecraft version, import them into the Minecraft Xbox One Edtion import and then import old worlds into the Minecraft bedrock codebase version. (Minecraft Xbox 360 -> Minecraft
Xbox One Edtion -> Minecraft Xbox bedrock codebase).

You end up with a version that you do not use, but you can then sell it via e-bay to fellow gamers who have the same problem.

So it is possible and fortunately not as Microsoft indicated earlier that the worlds would be lost.

You can use the Minecraft Realms standard or try the steps below first when transferring worlds.

In Minecraft (Bedrock Version), select the Sync Old Worlds button at the bottom of the worlds list in the Play menu. This finds any worlds on the device from the Minecraft: PS4 Edition and displays them below the button.

Select any of the worlds that are displayed to convert it to the Bedrock edition.

After conversion, the world will show up above the Sync Old Worlds button, along with the rest of your Bedrock worlds.

Is it possible to shift worlds in minecraft bedrock from ps4 to xbox one?

Are you talking about a Minecraft world? Also, what version [Xbox one(the old one) or bedrock (the latest one with cross platform)]?. Usually if you're connected to Xbox live, all worlds sync up to the cloud, if you're playing on Minecraft Bedrock edition,
when you click play, there should be an option at the bottom to sync old worlds.
