'Can't Find Assets' Although they are still there

So I made the mistake of deleting a file manually from my project folder and to my dismay, the next time I opened up my project all the pathways seem to have been forgotten. It says it cant find the assets although they are in exactly the same place. How do I restore my project? Even all my blend spaces, animation blue prints etc cant find the animations. It’s really scary as I’ve potentially lost hours of work
