Recipes not migrated / relocated

For sad, complicated reasons, which I will not go into here, :-), I had to create a new Microsoft account, which necessitated creating a new profile/account on my Windows 10 machine. This meant moving ALL of my files to the new account user directory. 

Fortunately, I keep everything important on google drive so the net result is that all my picture files, my capture one catalog files, etc. were moved from 

C:\Users\old-account\Google Drive

to 

C:\Users\new-account\Google Drive

I was super nervous the first time I opened Capture One. But it turned out to be fairly painless. I went into the folder structure selected show hierarchy and simply did a locate on the top level folder where all my pictures were.  Took less than 5 minutes for Capture One to locate 40,000+ files. 

So yay Google Drive and yay Capture One! 

However. 

I'd invested a lot of careful work into about a dozen different process recipes and these do not appear in my capture one session catalog anymore. I am 99.999999% sure every single file got moved over to the new account because it was all on Google drive. So I figure those recipes are on the hard drive somewhere. 

Anyone have any ideas how to recover those recipes? 

Thanks

  Process recipes are stored in your users profile, same as e.g. styles. So you have to login into your old account and check the path C:\Users\old-account\AppData\Local\CaptureOne\Recipesxxx (xxx stands for a numbering, I guess depending on the C1 version, so there might more). Copy them into the same path into your new accounts profile and they're back.

  Calvin,

  You probably figured it out already but you might want to consider the other folder in the same locations.

  You posted the question in the Archive area  - are you using something pre- version 20?

  Version 20 further segregates and stores the Appdata for old and new versions to make it easier to return to an older version if required at its last used state of usage. Likewise some other aspects of the systems, like userconfig files.

  A lot of that is probably more important for multi-user studio type situations but it may be handy to have anyway for solo users.

  I think I spotted a technical article that covered the subject but it may be worth contacting Support directly if you find some things are not quite as you expect them to be.
