Local by Flywheel not opening after Accidentally Deleting the .docker files

I accidentally deleted the files on the .docker folder, now the app local by flywheel is not opening! It says checking system… how can I get back these files? Tried to Install the latest version or stop VirbualBox machine but nothing

My error log shows:
open C:\Users\HOME\.docker\machine\machines\local-by-flywheel\config.json: The system cannot find the file specified.\n

Hey teffyjean! Welcome to the community – I wish it were under better circumstances! I can definitely help you out, though.

If you don’t have a backup of that folder, you’ll need to uninstall VirtualBox & Local, and restore your sites from their folders on your system.

  1. Step one – here is a doc outlining how to uninstall VirtualBox & Local

  2. Step two – reinstall Local

  3. Step three – here is a doc on restoring your sites from their Local folders
