I had to shut down my system. When I brought it back up the plots were gone. I closed Chia and deleted the config.yaml file. I’ve done this in the past. When I bring Chia up the plots all re-sync and are there. I was in a pool, but the pool is gone. Is there a way to get it back with all my plots in it? I really don’t want to re-plot in a new pool.  
Help!!!

→ Obligatory “Make sure you’re on 2.5.2 ” because everyone needs to upgrade or they may not be able to make blocks

Update the config.yaml: either …

- Close and reopen the GUI or
- If you still have the old config.yaml:
  - Close the GUI
  - Copy the `pool_public_keys: !!set` section from the old config.yaml to the new
  - Restart the GUI

If that doesn’t work:

- Do a wallet resync: Settings → Advanced → Resync → restart at least the wallet service (close/reopen the GUI without checking the “Keep services running in the background” checkbox) → wait for the wallet to sync.

If that doesn’t work:

- Close GUI and stop all services
- Delete the Wallet database:
  - Windows → C:\home\<username\>.chia\mainnet\wallet\db\*
  - Linux → /home//.chia/mainnet/wallet/db/\*

- Restart the GUI

CLI commands to do the above:

- Stop all services: `chia stop all -d`
- Start node/farmer/harvester/wallet services: `chia start farmer`
- Restart wallet service: `chia start wallet -r`
- Resync: `chia rpc wallet set_wallet_resync_on_startup`
