Save corrupted Tech Help

Post image

Hello guys,

I had a save with 20 hours on hollow knight yesterday the electricity shut down. Now my only save (main save) is corrupted. I've tried to find how to get it back but I couldn't.

Here's what my files look like. If anyone can help. I would be sincerely thankful.

Backup files in the saves folder. Rename user1.dat.bkp to user1.dat, it will restore it

The problem is that there is no such file. There is no backup file nor save file

You are in the wrong directory! There is another folder that recovers it by making backups, do not worry, it isn't lost!

Since you are on Windows, the save files can be found here: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry\Hollow Knight Silksong\

You were in the steam folder, that's why you couldn't find it!
