Hi 1947lark,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to recover a file within your music library that was deleted. I can provide you guidance.

Follow the steps to navigate to your missing folder: Recover files using Time Machine and Spotlight on Mac - Apple Support. It may be called Various Artists or Compilations. Once you restore that item, you may need to add it back to your library. Open the iTunes app: iTunes > Files > Library > Add to Library and navigate to the restored folder.

If you need continued support, feel free to reach back out with an update.

Regards.
