P.D : I dont know if this post goes in this section, if it doesnt, please let me know where i should post it. Thanks in advance.

Use git, to store your project remotely and commit often.
Much easier and safer track and restore changes.

Try delete library content and reopen project again.
However, if this is hardware issue, you may have bigger problem.

2 weeks with no any backups is fools game.

Buy an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). It’s a surge box that has a battery built in that will switch to it if power goes too high, too low, or turns off entirely. You don’t need a ton of fancy features. A basic unit will work just fine.

If you lost two weeks of work it means you’re either not backing up often enough or you’re using the wrong type of backup. I highly recommend getting a version control system in place but if you’re one of those crazies that would rather lose data than depend on the cloud at least do daily backups and with more than one device.

This is the solution, i tried with reimporting the assets in a new project but a lot of packages broke down after that process.
Deleting the library folder effectively allowed me to reopen the project and lost none (or at least not noticeable to me) of the configurations for the packages.

Thanks a lot!! you literally saved me!
