I don't know what guide you were following but they likely made you do something silly. So there are 2ish places to check for your settings and saves.
First, do you have a User folder next to Dolphin.exe? If you have one, at some point you placed a text file named Portable (with extension portable.txt) next to Dolphin.exe. Doing so overrides our global user directory and makes this fresh and thus blank user folder. If you have one, make note of what's in it. Next is our global user directory, aka "user folder". We recently moved our global user folder location on Windows, so let's just check both. The old default in Windows was C:\Users\<username>\Documents and the new default is in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming (AppData is a hidden folder). Check for a Dolphin Emulator folder in both locations, one of them should have your settings and saves. Given the situation you are in, you are likely to find more than one of those potential user folder locations exists. Let us know what you find, and we'll walk you through which folder has your saves in it and how to swap back to it.

thank you for responding but for me both the app data and the documents have no progress on either including empty folders of saves so I'm not what I must've done for the appdata to also be wiped

Did you check the portable.txt thing? Do you have a portable.txt file and/or a User folder next to Dolphin.exe?

thank you for your help but i realized their is probably no saving it since i was dumb and didnt have a dolphin folder in my documents so i looked for the folder and pasted the wii online stuff into the roaming folder so at this point it sounds like i goofed and reset my dolphin
