A while back, I updated Minecraft to 1.6. When this happened, all of a sudden all my previous worlds were lost! This really upset me because I had a lot of stuff I worked really hard on. I backed up my game, but when I looked in my backup files nothing was there. I also tried the whole "previous version" thing with my saves folder, but it only goes back to ealier this month, not MONTHS ago. Is there any way to fix this?
Also if you're wondering why I waited this long to get help - I've tried almost everything and I'm seriously desperate. I know it was a while ago, but these worlds were my best. Thanks
Also sorry if this isn't in the right category, I honestly wasn't sure where I should place this...
When your worlds are deleted, they are not actually deleted, The computer will overwrite them. Your worlds are probably not recoverable though because the computer probably wrote over it awhile ago

But if you were in survival:
you can always spawn whatever you had back in by creating a new survival world then following these steps:
1. Open up to LAN and enable cheats
2. Type /gamemode c to get in creative mode
3. rebuild everything and spawn stuff back in.
4. type /gamemode s
5. Exit and re-enter the game, cheats will be off and all you will be in survival with all your stuff.
If it was a creative world:
Download MCedit. It will help you build things REALLY fast.
