Restore catalog without backup

[aviv0101]

Hey everyone,

I just updated to the latest version of Lightroom classic and the catalog was deleted somehow, I never backed it up unfortunately....

is there a way to restore the catalog by any chance?

thanks you very much!

(im using windows 11)

If it's not in the Recycle bin, and you upgraded from version 11, your old v11 catalog should still be there.

Version 12 upgrades a copy of the v11 catalog.

If you don't know where to find it, do a search for files with the extension .lrcat on your computer.
