Old catalog disappeared after creating a new one

[Malakoff73]

Hope somewone can help me, I'm not too familiar with all the workings of Lightroom.

I decided to set a new catalogue up today and the original catalogue has disappeared. All my lovely photos are on that catalogue and I need to get them back, How do I do it please. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi there,

If you are using Lightroom Classic, please go to the File menu > Open recent and check if it lists multiple catalog. If it does, your current catalog would have a small check mark infront of it and the catalog you were previously working on should be listed there which you can select. Lightroom would relaunch with the previous catalog. 

If you do not see multiple catalogs in the list, you can go to the Pictures folder of your computer (as that is the default location for catalogs) and check if the catalog is located there.

Regards,
