Workflows, creds and executions disappeared

Questions

Hi

Our workflows suddenly disappeared from n8n. Along with that, all credentials and execution history are also gone.

We didn’t delete anything manually. Is there a way to check what happened or restore everything from a backup / rollback?

Also, could you let us know what might have caused this? This is really blocking our work right now

n8n version: 1.117.3, Version 2.1.3 released 1 hour ago and it seems to be broke-deleted everything

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.117.3
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi there

this shouldn’t happen without a data-level event. Most likely, after the recent release/upgrade, n8n is now pointing to a new or reset database, or there was a rollback in the environment. nothing is manually deleted the data just isn’t there anymore.

n8n doesn’t have an undo/rollback unless there are database backups. If this is n8n Cloud, please contact n8n support immediately and request a backup restore, including the approximate time before the data disappeared. Also verify the database connection and encryption key if self-hosted.
