Ahh, that's makes more sense! If you are using the B command to make a
block, you are saving it only in the drawing you are currently in. (If you
want to save the blocks as an external file, you should used the W command)
Without knowing exactly which drawings you saved the blocks in, it's going
to be difficult to assist directly. What I can recommend though is the
following...
Saving blocks using the B command isn't a bad thing. The new block library
tab makes it easy to get to those blocks later on. I suspect that you've
been doing this, and then having those blocks available in your recent
blocks tab?
Which will be empty when you reinstall AutoCAD (because no blocks have been
recently used).
So... Let's assume that is what happened. If you saved the drawing that
contains your blocks in the AutoCAD installation folder, then it's gone.
It's been overwritten and you're our of luck. Luckily, by default AutoCAD
doesn't save to that directory. By default it saves to the documents
directory, so it may still be there.
Perhaps the easiest way to find out, if to use the DesignCenter command.
(View tab, pallettes panel, looks like a skyscraper from a videogame made
in the 80s). This tool let's you browse your file system, and see what
blocks are saved in each drawing. It'll be a bit of a slog, but I think
it's probably the easiest way.
In the future, make absolutely certain where you have saved your files.
Production drawings should always be saved on a shared server or the cloud,
where regular backups can be scheduled - if at all possible.
