Today I was having troubles syncing my MIST wallet (I am a beginner). I re-inslatted MIST (on iOS) and replaced my old version (which was the same version). This time, it opened a new account (labeled it ACCOUNT 2) and I can no longer see my "MAIN ACCOUNT". I had a bunch of POWR in that account which I can see down the bottom (see screenshot).

How do I get this MAIN account back?

Account locations, your password is NOT a account.
Mac: ~/Library/Ethereum/keystore
Linux: ~/.ethereum/keystore
Windows: %APPDATA%/Ethereum/keystore

Did you use for example in shortcut file use --node-datadir="E:\Ethereum"
As you did not want the 80GB chainfile on your small bootdrive.

If still not finding it use Recuva or similar mac program to find a file UTC--
If that fail, use Recuva Scan Contents.. and look for {"address":
Use Win10 cmd find "crypto" filename , to extract it if it's now hiding in large file that "overwritten" it.
