My world got deleted

Hello, Mojang thank you for addressing me and reading this hopefully you can help me,
While I was playing on a world that I have had for around a year or two, I got up to get some food and kit a switch in my room that turned everything on the circuit off with my pc is connected to, thinking it would nothing which normally it does nothing, I kept going and upon returning and relaunching minecraft I looked for the world and it wasn't there at first i was confused but than i looked through the saves in my minecraft folder and it was there but when I launch minecraft it does no appear in the singleplayer worlds, I than dragged it on to my desktop and brought it back in to minecraft's save folder than relaunched and it still wasn't there, after checking my logs the game had said a client/error for a search of the world name which doesn't make sense because it was there in saves but i have a back up but that was in 4/14/19 which is all the way back in a lot of progress i have made and I don't want to redo weeks worth of work and it appears that the backup doesn't work either which is baffling to me because I cannot comprehend the idea yet that my world that I worked so hard on and loved so much had been lost in the game's logs or its internal servers it weird that you would want to Recreate it but I cut the circuit that powers my pc while on minecraft in the ESC menu than with in .50-1 second I had turned the circuit back on in the screenshot i provided you it should be the most recent above Jay survival and on the left the saves file and the missing world Jay I don't really know if this is a bug or the lack or implantation of software. currently i am still baffled by the idea because that world helped my stress level go down, thank you Minecraft.

If you could not recreate it or have thank you anyways.
Sincerely:MR_wingsta

I'm not sure if it's the same as the way I have mine on my Xbox however I deleted my current Minecraft game on my console and then I went into my settings>network>network settings>advanced settings,and I made sure my IP and my DNS settings are both set to automatic... Then I did a hard boot on my Xbox one. After 5 minutes I restarted and loaded the game again and it came back to me... Sounds like you're on a PC may not be relevant but for what it's worth that's what I did..,

The world has been corrupted and can therefore no longer be read by Minecraft.

If you have made a backup upon loading the world, that should be in .minecraft/backups. You can restore an older state of the world from that backup.

While having the logs of what Minecraft is having trouble with would help work out exactly what is wrong. To me, this just seems like a level.dat problem where the game just can't read the world metadata in order to display it.

I've fixed many worlds by aquiring a complete level.dat and replacing the broken one, so my first thought would be backing up the broken world folder to an explicitly named folder (via copy-paste) to keep from any irreversible damage, and, within the original broken world inside your saves folder, rename "level.dat" to "level.dat_broken" then rename "level.dat_old" to "level.dat" and see if the world is displayed in the saves list.

I just know how attached you can get to worlds, so I would hate for this guy to be left with 'oh my world is corrupted' when the actual world data may be fine.
