The location in AppData\Local is used for the disk cache and some other data as you can see if you inspect this data. The real profile folder with your personal data is in the AppData\Roaming location.

If you have no access to this profile data and don't have another backup then I'm afraid that it is lost.

No there is no useful information in that folder, only the roaming folder has useful data.

Do you not have any other backups, access to the drive, a windows.old folder, etc?
