Good evening.
I caught a virus that removed almost all of the files from AppData/Local. Pt4 folder was removed too. I did a system restore, but my created hud dissapeared.
I just want to know, where can I find my created huds ? I tried to create new one, but I didn't find it in folders.

They're in %Appdata%/Local/PokerTracker 4/Data/ so you may have lost them. If you reinstall PT4 and they're not listed, it's very likely they're gone.

I just created new one but I don't see it in this folder.

It's called Layouts.pt4 and it isn't created until you've changed something about the defaults.

for example, I want to save my created hud, how can I do it? For example, I want to reinstall system and so need to save it.
I just need to save Layouts.pt4?

Yes, but if you're reinstalling an entire system you're much better off using our backup system - via File -> Backup in PT4. That can backup your database and all of your optional files and put it in a single zip file that you can restore via File -> Restore. We try to help make it easier for you :)

thx a lot, but to backup 200gb database it is not easier than save a small folder :)

The backup ends up a lot smaller than the original database. Also you can backup just the additional files without the database in which case the backup file really will be quite tiny.
