# Tablepress Uninstalled Itself?

 * Hello all, I have been using tablepress for almost a year now and it’s been great.
   I really loke the application.
    Today, I was making some updates to my website(
   not Tablepress related) and it has disappeared. One thing that I had done that
   may have caused the issue was I updated wordpress on the Godaddy website. Since
   then I went to download another plugin and there was a notice at the top of the
   page that Tablepress had been removed due to an error. This notice no longer 
   comes up and I did not take a screenshot. I have tried downloading it again but
   it failed due to the “folder already existing”. I really hope all of my information
   is still somewhere and not lost! I do not have much knowledge about WP so I’m
   hoping this will be an easy fix. Any help will be appreciated! Thank you, Eric

 * ***UPDATE***
 * I have gone through my site files via ftp and the tablepress folder is there 
   with other folders/content as well. This seems like some good news. I’m sure 
   that if I delete the folder I can reinstall the plugin but what I really need
   to know is where are my existing tables located so I can simply copy them back
   without having to recreate everything. Hopefully someone can help be get this
   back up and running soon.
    Thanks! E

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I have no clue what happened here, as TablePress does not just uninstall itself.
 * Restoring the plugin files should however work here, and your tables should still
   be fine (as they are stored in the database). So, yes, please delete that `wp-
   content/plugins/tablepress` folder via FTP and then re-install TablePress.
 * After that, you can make a backup of all your tables by exporting them to e.g.
   the CSV (can be opened with e.g. Excel) and the JSON (best for re-importing into
   TablePress) formats on the TablePress “Export” screen.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
