If you're on PC, you might be in luck! Terraria saves world files and characters locally, so check your recycle bin first. If you've emptied it or you're on another platform, things get trickier. Unless you've backed up your game manually or used cloud saving (if available on your platform), the world might be gone for good. Always back up your worlds and characters regularly!

Short answer: prevention is key. Always back up your game files. Once a world is deleted and if it's not in the recycle bin or you don't have a backup, it's game over.

I learned this the hard way: set up Terraria to use cloud saves if you can, it's a real lifesaver. Lost my world once, but never again after I started using cloud saves. Now, if my local data goes poof, I can still recover. Check Terraria's settings and enable cloud save if it's there.

Gone forever, buddy. Why? Because if you didn't back it up or use cloud saves, then it's like building a sandcastle at low tide. The sea (or in this case, the void of data deletion) takes it all away.
