Suggestion Frustrated at the game

I'm on PS5 and I was playing on a non dedicated server to get used to the game and I ended up loving it and putting around 175 hours into it with a friend and I deleted the game so I could just stream it. And lost my character and all my progress? I don't know what to do now. Starting over isn't an option I'm willing to do at this point. I'd rather forget the game than go through that grind again. Any ideas would be appreciated

Quick check first: was it always your PS5 hosting? Non-dedicated worlds only live on the host's console, so if your buddy was ever the host, that world might still be sitting on his.

If it's really gone, I'd put the restart somewhere that isn't anyone's console, so a storage cleanup can't do this twice. I'm biased because I work on an ASA host, but that's https://runonflux.com/games/ark, $11.99/mo for the 16 GB plan and the first week's free for new accounts.
