Hi, have you ever accidentally deleted your single player worlds? I know I have, and I now know a way to recover them. (For Windows 7 and Vista Only!)

Step 1: Press Start, go to run, and type in "%appdata%" (Without the quotation marks.)

Stepgif

Step 2: Open your ".minecraft" folder.

Stepgif

Step 3: Go to your "saves" folder.

Stepgif

Step 4: Right-click and go to "Properties"

Stepgif

Step 5: Go to "Previous Versions" and click on the time/date you would like to go back to, and then click "Restore"

Stepgif

Hope i have helped you recover your saves. Please Diamond!

Thank you everyone for all the diamonds this tutorial has been getting! I'm so glad i helped all these people!

My world I accidentally deleted was last worked on yesterday, and the recovery folders don't contain that version, only the version from way earlier this week.

Hiya. 1-2 years ago, I accidentally deleted me and my brother's world. But I did not know that you could do this! (Yup, a lot of regret!!!) I really want to get it back. So, anyone know?

That has happened to me before. if it isn't deleted, then just load up again with mods then they should be there
