Help Can't find the old whatsapp backups in my phone

[Storex]

Hello,
I have an issue with Whatsapp as I am not very familiar with it and I am trying to get help with it.
Two days ago, I cleared the data in my whatsapp accidently (s21 ultra). Then, I pushed the button backup thinking that it will ask me to select the backup file that I have.
But, It seems I deleted the old backup and overwrote it with nothing. Therefore, I lost all my data.
As I know, we can find many backup versions in the phone (Internal storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp/databases). But, I found only one file "mgstore.db.crypt14".

I want to know, if possible :
- How all the old backups were deleted ? is it due to clear data option ?
- Is there any solution to find that old backup ?
- Should I use Data recovery software in order to find what was deleted ?

The smallest help will be more than appreciated.

Thank you,

1. Yes, doing the "Clear Data" option probably erased the backups. That's why it's important to also upload the backup to Google Drive
2. No, you can't get any deleted files back
