Minecraft deleted after I closed it
I closed out the game. Then, it deleted itself off of my desktop and files. It's just not there anymore and I have no clue how please help so I can get my good world back that I've been working on for weeks with my friends. Thanks.

I'm so sorry to hear that you can't find your world. If you'd like to investigate, Minecraft: Education Edition worlds are stored locally on your device and on a PC, you may still be able to find the world files here: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Education Edition\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds
If you are on another platform, try searching "com.mojang"
The tricky part of this is that the world folders are listed with a "GUID", which is a series of letters and numbers that don't correlate to the world name that you'd recognize. Here what I would suggest finding the world and see if you can still open it:
- sort the minecraftWorlds folder by date and try to pinpoint the time you were last in the world
- open the folder that has a date/time close to the last time you were in the world
- open the file called "levelname.txt" in a text editor to see the name of the world. If it's the world you are looking for, close the file and move to the next step
- copy the entire folder for this world to your desktop, or another convenient location
- open the folder in this new location, select all of the files in the directory, right click and then select "Send to Compressed (zipped) folder"
- A new file with extension ".zip" will show up in this folder. Move this .zip file to the desktop, or another convenient location
- Rename the .zip file to "[WORLDNAME].mcworld" - WORLDNAME is a name you choose that is recognizable to you
- Double click on this file, and Minecraft: Education Edition will launch
It's a great idea to export and save your worlds after every session to prevent this issue from occurring. I hope this helps.

Hey, like the game itself deleted off my computer and the download launcher is still there but it has an error every time i try to reinstall it.

Was there an update installed recently? If this is a school device there may be something in place that is set to find and remove those applications. Let me know.

This is on my personal computer and i’m using my school account. Yesterday I think I got the application back but it won’t let me sign in on the loading screen and saying can’t connect to internet please try again even though i’m fully connected to Wifi.

Hey John!
What kind of device are you on?
Do you have any proxies or firewalls on the device? My hunch is a virus protection program may need to allowlist Minecraft: Education Edition.
