There is no .minecraft or save folder on my laptop

Hey Laura

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with being able to manage your save data for Minecraft.

There is an article on the Mojang Support site that I will link
here, that covers how to find this file. Make sure you are able to view your hidden files as well!

Alternatively you can visit the
Minecraft Forums and see if the info you are seeking is there.

I hope this is of some help to you.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Minecraft world that disappeared.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

If your Minecraft world disappeared, first check for backups or previous versions, then please restore the world manually by navigating to the saves folder and copying the world folder.

If you have backups enabled (either manually or through a cloud service), look for the most recent backup and restore it.

And then system restore (Windows). To do this, right-click on the saves folder or the specific world folder.

Select "Restore previous versions" to recover an earlier version of the folder.

Next is to check the Saves Folder by navigating to the saves folder on your device. For Windows, go to %appdata%\.minecraft\saves.

See if your world folder is still there. If it is, there might have been a corruption issue.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello AaravSingh1,

Thanks for reaching out to us, I can provide you some details on what you're looking for. The Minecraft worlds are located within the drive itself. As recommended below, if you're looking to get that world off of the old Dell Laptop, then you'd want to
remove the drive and see if you can obtain a case to turn that drive to an external drive in order for you to recover the files. Once that's been completed, there will be a few steps needed to locate and recover the world.

Go to your start menu and search run. Alternatively you can press the Windows button + R.

Type "%appdata%" then press OK.

Go into your .minecraft folder, then your saves folder, then (if you remember the name of your deleted world) copy paste the world folder into the same saves folder.

Go back into Minecraft and play your recovered Minecraft world.

Hope this information helps, Happy Gaming!

minecraft on pc does not have cloud saves, google where the save folder is then you can backup.
