– Unless you’ve made a backup of all of your SavedVariables/AddOnName.lua files, no, sorry, it’s not. If you *have* made a backup, you should be able to simply overwrite your current SavedVariables/AddOnName.lua files with the old (backup) version. However, there’s a tool that exists to make this process easier, AND it will allow you to MERGE (rather than overwrite) your new data with your old. That tool is called SVEdit, and it can be found here: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4047 There’s also software (not free), such as R-Studio, that advanced users can use to recover deleted files. This will only recover deleted files, it will not undo changes in files and, no matter how much you pay for the software, it is not guaranteed to work.
