Electrum wallet - lost wallet

[Wardeelen]

Hi Guys,

i bought verge coins on litebit.eu and send them to my electrum wallet. when i first made the wallet i had some difficulties, so looks like in the end i have different wallets.
when i bought the Verge coins, i send them to a receive adres from the wallet (i know the receive adress) but when i relook at the now (2 wallets i thought but theire might be 1 more missing) none of them have the receive adress i kopied and pasted when i bought the coins.

the coins are in the wallet.
how can i find the lost wallet, with only knowing the receive adress. (i know the password of the lost wallet).

Thank you,

Aside from the fact that you're using Verge, the short answer is you cannot regenerate an (Electrum) wallet file with just a receive address and the password... You need the 12 word seed that you would have had to write down when you created the wallet.

One other option is to scan your computer using data recovery software like EaseUs or Recuva etc to see if the wallet file was accidentally deleted.

It won't be easy, because Electrum doesn't use file extensions for wallet files... ie. it is just called "default_wallet" not "wallet.dat" etc... and you can name it pretty much anything, so it isn't even necessarily called "default_wallet"
