All containers and images are gone after colima reinstallation
Description
My qemu
was corrupt so I had to uninstalled both colima
(also deleted the ~/.colima
folder) and qemu
, then reinstalled them. I couldn't see any containers or images after the reinstallation. Is there a way to restore the images and containers?

Images are in ~/.lima/colima folder ... rename this folder, recreate colima, stop it and copy over images. Maybe it will work.

I saw 2 large files in the .lima basedisk and diffdisk. Unfortunately the containers are still missing
