Recently, when trying to figure out how to create a path to have a games list on my home screen, I accidentally changed the location of my global user directory in my registry editor, and now all of my data seems to be wiped. Is there any way I can restore this data? I still have a Dolphin Emulator folder in my documents that has a memory card file in it, but I am unsure what to do with it.

When trying to figure out how to make the path, I had followed this tutorial: https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/controlling-global-user-directory/ , thinking it was referring to the same path as that in the config menu. What I did was set the global user directory location to a separate folder that I had placed my ROMs in, and when that didn’t work, I tried creating a Local User Directory, as shown in the tutorial above. At some point I had both a Global and Local User Directory in my Dolphin Emulator Key. Both directories have been deleted now, as well as the Dolphin Emulator Key itself, and I have a backup of my Dolphin Emulator folder from my documents. I am unsure what step to take now. My dolphin app is still wiped of all its data. Unsure how much of this will help, but I just wanted to provide all the information of what led me to this point. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Edit: The backup is currently just sitting on my desktop, but in my documents folder there is still a dolphin emulator folder present, so I am unsure what I am supposed to do with this backup.
