Moved my wallets location and now it won't open

[RowanRK6]

As above, my wallet wouldn't open after I moved it from the desktop to a new folder with the rest of my crypto wallets.

I had a good look around on here and followed someone's advice to delete the local .json file in my users/appdata file. Clearly that hasn't helped...

I made a complete USB backup of the Sia UI folder before messing around with it but if I open it from the drive, it just looks like a brand new wallet that refuses to sync. Also, I can't find the option to recover wallet from seed? The only option I could see was to create a new wallet which I have now done thinking that it would allow me to revover my old wallet afterwards (it's still syncing).

I tried to remove the entire Sia folder within appdata hoping that it would see my PC as a fresh device and create a new folder structure but that hasn't worked.

Can anyone explain how best to get access to my old wallet and coins again, please? If i've shot myself in the feet, i'd rather know sooner than later as i'm still mining to my old wallet address.

Thanks in advance!

@RowanRK6 You can only recover the seed if you backed it up or have the password. If you have it backed up you can simply copy it to the wallet folder in appdata. If you have the password you can restore the wallet by creating a new one and then clicking recover wallet.

Thanks for the advice, I am now back up and running. I think my problem was not fully removing all traces of the Sia UI before reinstalling and attempting to recover my wallet.
