    Unfortunately, you left out the site’s database, which includes all your site’s content and configuration.

    If you completely uninstalled WAMP and deleted the MySQL folder, then, I’m afraid, your content may be gone for good.

    If you have the deleted files in your computer’s recycle bin (or whatever it’s called in your OS), this may be your last hope to restore your site.

    I can’t use this guide because i recovered the files as a folder now i have multiple type of the data as I mentioned before is there any use for them like copying specific files that includes the data ? That will restore the database i have as files to the new mysql folder

    How exactly did you make the backup?

    the thing I didn’t make it i had to delete WAMP because I couldn’t access anything for some reason so i used a program to recover deleted files and i was able to recover the old mysql folder that had a file with the name of the database i used for the website this is all i got….
    im kind of dispersed now but i hope someone could help my find a solution

    my client was expecting his website within few days now everything is gone….

    My guess then would be that, if you have set up WAMP the same way as before, you could probably just drag and drop those files into the same directories they were in before.
