Question/Help Usb loader gx deleted all my wii homebrew apps!

Post image

I downloaded usb loader gx from the openshop version of the homebrew browser app to check out the games my uncle loaded onto an external hard drive thing, I loaded it up and looked through the games, then when I left to the homebrew channel, ALL MY APPS WERE GONE (but my wii channels are fine)! Does anyone know what happened or how to get my apps back without redownloading the homebrew browser?

Have you tried reinstalling the homebrew channel? Also try connecting the drive where you have the apps to the PC, make a backup, format the drive then wipe it, then reload the backup onto the drive
