I meant to uninstall classic but did Retail instead and had to reinstall it. and some of my saved variables seemed to be gone for my addons…is there a way to get them back or did reinstalling the game overwrite those already.
I wonder if you reinstalled in a different directory or disk than the previous installation. That would have created a whole fresh new UI environment (including no addons and fully reset WTF directory). But your prior installation would still be someplace on disk.
