the question is still where is the file gone, if i find it, than i could maybe recover it?
obviously the software deleted the renamed file and then it startet with block verification and then it created a new wallet.dat, because the old one was send to somewhere.
I know now what not to do, but it was happened and there are lots of money on it. Hopefully somebody have an idea where to search the file and what program is out there to recover wallet files (if we find it)
Why is this program deleting the wallet.dat file (what was the wallet.timestamp.bak before)
and if the program really deleted it, where did it put it.
does it makes sense to hire a data recovery company to find those files? or was it renamed and send to some folder again?
I checked already with easeus data recovery but could not find the old wallet.

And again - you have been told you should not be renaming important files (you should copy over them instead with care) and most especially you don't do this while Bitcoin Core is *running*.
(if you insist upon doing things that the software wasn't designed to support then you can expect trouble)

I wanted to start new because of the confusion in the first, this is more clear now...
ANYWAY to all that see this
The Wallet.dat file, was created by me, then i copied the btc receive address out it renamed it and then closed the client, so this wallet.dat then maybe could not be completet.
If i create a new wallet, wait for 10 min then do the same thing, then bitcoin core seems to "complete" this file, if i then rename it and then close the bitcoin core, and then rename it back to wallet.dat, if i then start core again, the file is fine and working
So i think, but i am not an expert, that the first wallet.dat was not ready?? because it took me only a few seconds to open new wallet, copy address and then rename and close it, maybe it was to fast anyway,

Please do not double post, instead post this in your original thread.
I i reconstructed the error and made a Video out of it.
Th.e biggest question now is, what did bitcoin core with the wallet.dat, that disappeared from the folder.
