Hi there Prajesh welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan and been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Okay, one time I deleted a world by accident and recovered it like this:

Minecraft saves all worlds in separate folders in a hidden place on your hard drive. To find the hidden and folder and your Minecraft files:

Press the "Win+R" key combination

Type "%appdata%" in the search line

Press Enter to open the AppData folder

Go to "\roaming\.minecraft\saves"

Now you should be inside the hidden folder, where Minecraft saves all of your worlds inside other separate folders with the given names of the worlds.

In order to restore your deleted Minecraft worlds, follow these steps:

Press the right mouse button (RMB) on an empty area of the folder

Click on Properties

Select "Previous Versions" tab

You should see the list of deleted Minecraft world folders. Choose a folder from the list and click on the Restore option. This will recover the deleted folder.

Now you can go back to Minecraft, and you will find your deleted world back in the game's menu.

Unfortunately, if the savegame, however, is gone in the folder as well, then there is currently no way to get it back again.

I don't know if this will help you getting back your world, I also highly recommend you to contact Mojang!

Hi there GiuliaR,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with a deleted Minecraft world on mobile. Here in Xbox forums, we do not have the appropriate tools and resources to further assists with this issue.

Depending on your device, the world files can be difficult to access. It is recommended to back up your Minecraft worlds to prevent them from being lost. If you're able to access them and copy them over to a storage media, that is another method for backing
up your worlds. To see where your files are stored, please see
Where are Minecraft files stored?

If the issue persists, I recommend to contact
Minecraft Support for further assistance.

Hope this helps.

Hit the windows key + R and type %appdata% and then proceed to find the .minecraft folder and delete it and then open up the launcher again and it will take you to the login screen. Your worlds are gone but you can drag your world files out and put it on your desktop until after running Minecraft again so it creates the folder necessary to put your worlds back sorry for the aneurysm you gained from reading that. (take the world files out first before deleting the .minecraft folder)
