Hi there Kingston Solecki.
If the files are still on the device, they would be in a folder called "minecraftWorlds". Since the file paths can vary on different Chromebook devices, you can search for this folder in your Files app. Make sure to click on the vertical dots in the top right and select "Show hidden files" and "Show all Play folders" to make sure your search is pulling up the right result The tricky part of this is that the world folders are listed with a "GUID", which is a series of letters and numbers that don't correlate to the world name that you'd recognize. Here what I would suggest to find the world and see if you can still open it:
-sort the minecraftWorlds folder by date and try to pinpoint the time you were last in the world -open the folder that has a date/time close to the last time you were in the world
-open the file called "levelname.txt" in a text editor to see the name of the world. If it's the world you are looking for, close -the file and move to the next step -copy the entire folder for this world to your desktop, or another convenient location
-Right-click the folder, and then select "Zip selection".
-A zip file will appear under the folder selection.
-Rename the .zip file to "[WORLDNAME].mcworld"
-WORLDNAME is a name you choose that is recognizable to you
-Double click on this file, and Minecraft: Education Edition will launch

That file, the one called Jjp.........zip - that's the one which needs to be renamed to Jjp...........mcworld.
I suggest making a copy first. =] In case I'm wrong. I mean, I've only been wrong once this year, so you know, my second turn is coming up... (this is a J O K E!) Of course, don't shorten the file name, I just don't want to type the whole thing. =]
Good luck!
