  1. I followed the steps but I had no previous versions of the minecraft worlds in there. I had to forcefully delete the game because my computer was being very buggy and it would not shutdown without me forcefully shutting it down which consequently deleted a load of things of my PC. Is there no other way to retrieve my worlds?
