Lost all my wallpapers
About a month ago my gpu blew and i had to get it RMA'ed. now that i have the repaired gpu in, all of my saved wallpapers are gone except the two official ones i kept. I checked the workshop folder in my steam flies and none of the wallpapers are there, just their files and the blobs. Any fix?

It sounds like the data might be corrupted, have you tried to fully uninstall Wallpaper Engine followed by reinstalling it? That would probably fix it:

If the issue persists, you may need to also fully reinstall Steam (it is also important to delete the Steam folder here to clear any corrupted files!).

tried the uninstall and reinstall of wallpaper engine and only got the default wallpapers back. I'm not too keen on deleting steam entirely, but even then, delete which steam folder? Like the entire application folder?

First check if you are actually still subscribed. Go to the Wallpaper Engine Workshop page while logged-in, then on the right-hand side hover over "Your files" and select "Subscribed items". If everything is still there but nothing shows up in the app, then Steam is definitely bugging out:

In that case I think you need to fully reinstall Steam, that usually fixes severe Workshop download issues like this.

It looks like i was somehow unsubscribed from all my old wallpapers. None of them are there. Thanks for your help, truly, but I guess that's that.
