I updated my Mac and all my iMovie edits disappeared. How do I recover them?

I had tried going to "show package contents" after control clicking on Theater in my folders, but they are also not there.

How to recover deleted iMovie project In relation to this post Recover iMovie Project From File - Apple Community An iMovie project was accidentally deleted. I tried navigating to Go/Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iMovieApp/Data/Library/Caches/iMovieBackups The problem is, my "home" doesn't have a folder called "Library." If I search "This Mac" for "Library" I am taken to a folder that does not have a folder called "Containers." I searched "This Mac" for "iMovieBackups" and nothing comes up. Is something wrong with my system? Or is there a new way to find these files now? Also, once the project is found, how does one restore it back to the way it was in iMovie, with all the cuts and edits intact? Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

How can I remove deleted media from iMovie? Can anyone help me remove media from iMovie that I have rejected, unrated, unused, and already deleted? The files were moved to trash, the trash was emptied. I uninstalled iMovie itself along with associated files using the uninstaller feature in Clean My Mac X. Then I reinstalled iMovie again from the App Store. Despite all this, the unused media remains in iMovie and remains playable. There is no available option to view the files in Finder. I am the administrator user on my computer. All the other media has gone following the uninstallation.

Deleting preferences said it wouldn’t get rid Of all of my projects but I’ve followed the instructions on how to find the old projects and nothing is working. Any other suggestions?
