Is there a way to retrieve old worlds that I had from a while back? Maybe like 5 years ago or so. I tried the %appdata% method where you go into your saves and look at its previous versions, but it says there are no previous versions. I think I deleted Minecraft a while ago and recently re-downloaded it and I didn't have any of my old worlds. Is there any other method of getting them back? If so please let me know and how to. Thanks in advance.
worlds are saved on your computer in the saves folder, redownloading the game just downloads the game, not saves as mojang doesn't have a copy of your saves, if they were removed from the computer you maybe able to use a data recovery software to find them, but chances are the hard drive area has been reused and the worlds are gone

If they are not in %appdata%/saves, they are not in previous versions, and data recovery software(like recuva) cant find them(probably wont as the sectors were overwritten long ago), its gone, sorry
