Local 2.06 Problems to Error! Container is missing. You will need to restore this site from a backup or previous export

Hello,
I have the same problem but can’t get any of these solutions to work. In Local I rename files as suggested (e.g. mysite-backup), but then I can’t create a new site called mysite. I get the message: mysite is taken by another site. Please choose a different domain.
My site is in tact locally but I can’t get it back onto Local.
I have also tried: http://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/how-can-i-import-a-site-into-local-by-flywheel/636 and I can’t get this to work either - I am stumped, please help.
