So I think I made the problem worse
I deleted the 1.14 installation and downloaded the 1.12.2 and was joyed when it looked like it worked. However, now I cannot delete this installation nor does it work. It crashes and when I try to view the crash report it doesn't do anything (I click it, nothing happens, etc.)
So I had a bunch of mods in 1.12.2 and was in the process of adding more. However, the Morph mod required a forge # higher than the one I had; So I just decided to get the 1.14.2 as it was higher than what I had (14.23.5.2781) and was below 9999.9 (The mod was being a smartass so I was too). Now when I play the forge 1.14 it says the mods are "outdated" and may present problems. So I go to switch back to 1.12.2 only to find that the game decides to erase all memory of the 1.12.2 save file (see pic below). I want to get my 1.12.2 back please.
