Create a catalog with external location from different Metastore

Hello community !

Here's my problem : I had a workspace with Unity Catalog enabled, and a catalog stored on an external location (Azure storage account). All my schemas and tables were storage on this storage.

However we recently deleted the metastore, and created a new one. 

I am wondering if it is possible to re-create a catalog by specifying the same external location, to access all my schemas and tables again ? 

I tried doing so but I no longer see my schemas and tables on Databricks, so I am wondering if now that the metastore changed, I will not be able to see my tables ? 

Thank you for the help !
