BitCoin Core Wallet - Uninstall

[pratik91]

Hello All,

I have received bitcoin on 2013 in my Bitcoin Core Wallet and in between from 2013 till today I have formatted my system.
I have reinstalled the windows and Bitcoin Core Wallet but I didn't found my bitcoin balance in newly installed Bitcoin Core Wallet (I have synced it till date) but still there is no balance in my Wallet Sad

As per my knowledge, The private key, which is what gives you access to my Bitcoin, is kept in wallet.dat. If the addresses that I have in my new wallet.dat are different then it will not showing my balance.

Is there any way that I can get my Bitcoin to my Bitcoin Core Wallet?

I really appreciate your quick help!

Thanks

check it out at blockchain.info with your address and you can see your balance there.
or you can move your btc with private key.

Hello,

Yes it shows my balance it at: blockchain.info however as I said previous version of bitcoin core wallet has been deleted and I don't have private key for that.
I have installed in bitcoin core wallet but without previous version's private key , it is now showing my balance in bitcoin core wallet.

Is there any way that I can get my private key?

Thanks

No, sorry but if you old wallet is deleted and you've no backups then you've no way of recovering your BTC. If you've been using that system for a while after reinstalling then I'm sorry to say you're out of options, if you'd only very recently re-installed then there's a slim chance you could recover your wallet by hard drive diagnostics, deleted data isn't actually deleted, it's just marked as free space but formatted disk space can be impossible to recover.

you don't have a backup in your old wallet?
it's too hard to recovering your btc and you don't have private key too.

Oh.. thats gonna be a problem. You should always make sure you back everything up.

Microsoft has its own recovery tool. Look it up on google. I can't guarantee that you can recover that bat file though.
