You probably recovered the .old file which is just the world not the stuff you add to it

ok i hvent played for a while ..untill three days ago..so i backed up (using the Valheim interface) and heres what i discovered (note i use steam cloud!!)
"C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds" has a recent file called steam_autocloud.vdf from yesterday..
EVERYTHING ELSE IS FROMm 2022!!!!
however
"C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local" has all my manual backups from the valheim interface..
the format is worldname in my case Valheim and a lotta numbers.. example "Valheim_backup_20230310-163052" with.dbf as hidden extension size about 86 Meg
and
"Valheim_backup_20230310-163052.fwl" size 1Kb

from that it appears only the manual backups are working, and in my case the Steam cloud is visible when i follow https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage with recent dates!!
if OP cannot find world file on Steampowered. (as stated) then only manual backups seem to exist !!!!

Oh wait.... i looked closely at original post.
try this ..you have already copied what you think are valid backups quote " I foud .bd-backups in steamcloud for 20th and 19th february (160mb) and im sure its actual version of my world, "

so
1- copy them somewhere safe.not in valheim structure. ie desktop
2- now start game use normal character.
3- in worlds section, "copy to local" the latest file (dont worry we using it as a placeholder) take note of its name exactly! (important)
4- once done click "back" then "back" until you get to option the quit game
5- Quit game
6- disable steam cloud for valheim
7- start valheim use normal character
8- use latest local save (from step 3-)continue to just make sure game loads starts correctly.
9- when game starts correctly . Quit game ..save if you like
10- OPEN TWO file explorers lets think of them as a) and b)
11- in a)-goto "C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local"
12- rename the .dbf AND .fwl files with .old so they look like this im using my f
"original filename.dbf.old" and "original filename.fwl.old"
13- in b) goto desktop (or wherever you saved steam cloud files) COPY...do not move..COPY the dbf file
14-PASTE it into a)
15- rename your PASTE'd dbf file the same as the tested working .dbf without the added .dbf.old or the .fwl.old
16- Cross your finger or whatever is local custom...
17-Restart valheim.. and let US know how you go!!

oh just found this... steam saves locally as well here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\yourSteamIDnumber\892970\remote so your files could be here as well

Damn! so no valheim folder? no files?? or just old ones?

They don't care.

C:\Users\"Computer Name"\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds
Is where my default save data folders are.

Inside the folder I have 2 different kinds of backups.
The older ones that are "worldname".db.old and "worldname".fwl.old
You would just delete the ".old" part for both files and it would be a previous backup save.

There is a "newer" interface inside the game where you can actually hit a drop down on the world and see the back ups and launch the game from said backup though. I don't know if it's the same for cloud storage, since it's highly recommended to NOT use cloud storage, as most of the save issues are from the cloud storage.
