Hey! thought i could use some help!

so, i uninstalled asphalt legends unite , a game i had downloaded before homebrewing, from my emunand and it also got uninstalled from my sysnand. i tried to replicate it but no other game did it, as it should. I dont truly know what happened, maybe i had actually uninstalled it before and did not remember. maybe it did happen. any way to actually find out? im scared of even turning wifi on now because of leaked logs onto sysnand. however i should also mention that one showed 7.8gb free and the other 8.1gb . then i uninstalled on sysnand and nothing happened on emunand, then i did the same on emunand, went back on sysnand, and nothing happened. am i going insane or can this happen? idk if its possible for the game to be "partitioned" on the sd card and on the nand, so the nintendo just dumped it from both. or maybe nothing happened. i just wanna know if theres even a chance of that having actually happened. and, if so, what to do from now. i used the nh guide to do emummc and then some things werent working, so i followed with HATS. im on fw 20.1.5 and running atmosphere 1.9.1 with hekate 6.3.1
 
The only thing I can think of is that you had the game in both the CFW and the OFW on your SD card.
Although the emunand data and sysnand data is completely separated, they both share the same Nintendo folder on the SD card, where all the game files are.
The save games are also stored separately and the game files on the SD card are just read-only executables.

When you delete a game, the save files are usually preserved.
You should be able to get the game back on the OFW by just installing it again.
Assuming you did buy it legally with your OFW and you're not banned, you should be able to download it again from the eShop.
