 Follow these steps and save your time and databases:-

  1. Go to your XAMMP installation, it’s mostly in C drive.

  3. Create a new folder data under mysql folder
  4. Copy the contents of backup folder to the new data folder
  5. Now copy all your database folders that are in data-old folder to the new data folder (skip the mysql, performance_scheme and phpmyadmin folder)
  6. And the last, copy the ibdata1 file from data-old folder and replace it inside new data folder
  7. Restart your MYSQL server from XAMPP control panel.
