Terraria - How to recover a player if you accidentally deleted it.

[MrSpaceGoat]

This post will tell you how to get back a player/world that you or someone who hates you deleted. I recently lost one of my players and I want to share how I got it back in case anyone loses theirs!

 

Step 1:

Go to C:\Users\(Name)\Documents\My Games\Terraria

Step 2:

Right click either "Players" or "Worlds" and click on Properties.

Step 3:

Go to the "Previous Versions" Tab.

Step 4:

Find the file that had your character and left click it once. Now click "Restore".

 

Now you have your character back!

Simple resolution? Of course! Use cloud save on a player, it will block the delete option, and you can transfer your account to another PC. Your welcome
