I don't understand what you mean - is daz Studio loadign but al the content in database-driven views is missing (Smart Content pane, Presets tabs in property panes, Categories and pProducts in the Content Library pane)? Are the files acessible through the Content Library under Daz Studio Formats? If not, was your content in the Documents folder and has Windows unceremoniously moved all of that to the OneDrive folder without permission?
The Daz app is there to reinstall under the "removed apps" (The files are there they still say the name appear on them) when I click on it sends me to Daz install mgr sight. I still my account including everything I've downloaded from Daz.
I'm sorry but I still don't understand - perhaps a screenshot will help.
You need to reinstall DAZ Studio via the DAZ Install Manager also known as DIM.

I am not sure if you lost your scene DUF icons, If you I think you have done a clean install of Windows will erase the CSM database containing the references to the scene DUF files and their thumbnails, so yes they would be gone in that case. If you just upgraded Windows and that deleted DAZ Studio but not the CSM database, which I don't think it does, then reinstalling DAZ Studio via DIM and configuring the Content Libraries and such to be where they were before DAZ Studio was removed and those scene DUFs and their thumbnails were created should mean they will still be there for you.
If not, that you'll have to reopen each scene DUF to recreated the thumnails and for your old DUFs sometimes that's a problem if you've used morphs or background images you've since deleted, and such.
I managed to access install mgr. with my email and password, and saw everything I purchased and downloaded still there. Would still have to reinstall Daz since it still recgonized my email and password?
Is it still installed and running? Daz Studio doesn't depend on DIM, or on DIM's knowing where it is, for anything - though plug-in installation does.
In the new versions of DIM there is a tab where you can configure where everything DAZ Studio uses is located. If you do that when you install DAZ Studio you don't have to adjust those values in DAZ Studio after you install DAZ Studio or reinstall DAZ Studio. If used to be you had to adjust those in DAZ Studio after installing DAZ Studio. Check that tab, and see if the value are what you expect. The same values are located in the DAZ Studio preferences in the DAZ Studio menus, so check it there as well to be sure, especially if you have multiple Content Library locations. If DAZ Studio is running and you can access your Smart Content/Content Libraries and all your Render Library saved renders are still there where you configured them then your scene DUF files probably are too, so check them. If they are not, then as I said, you'll need to open even scene again in DAZ Studio to regenerated them.
If DAZ Studio won't run correctly, uninstall it via DIM and reinstall it after checking the DIM tab for the locations of the Content Library(Libraries) and correcting them if need be. Make sure CMS PostgreSQL is installed. It hurts nothing if you remove it and reinstall it as it won't delete the CMS database. Make sure it's set to the default location in the DIM configuration.
