Hi @RichardWanjohi ,

Unfortunately, Databricks Community Editon has been shutdown at January 1, 2026. So there's no way to restore your content. From now on you should use Free Edition.

This was announced several times and they asked every user to backup their notebooks from old community edition.

Hi @szymon_dybczak 

Thanks for the update. Yes, i remember the notification, however I was out of the country that period of time with limited access to systems. Is there a way I can access those files? I would greatly appreciate. 

Thank you
