i had a Joomla site on Xampp but for some reason i had to remove it but i copied all database files(OPT, MYI, MYD, FRM) and my folders in htdocs from previous Xampp now i know the right way of backing up a site but now all i have from previous Xampp(recovery didn't work) is these two folders now when i installed it once more and the "Quick start" of that first site and replaced htdocs and database folder with the previous site it's not like the original site

Inside your XAMPP installation folder, you will be having a Mysql folder and inside that folder you will have a data folder. You will find your Joomla database folder inside data folder. Copy the Joomla database folder to your new xampp installation. Paste it inside xampp->Mysql->data folder. Change the configuration.php databse connection details. Copy Joomla site folder to your new htdocs folder.
