So… i’ve tryed the chanel recover reinstalling lightning node, the first time it loaded the wallet with no channels and no balance
i did it again and now i se the balance but the channels are gone (maybe the first time i’ve put a wrong seed)
now
i’ve made a search on the hd of the F\*up node, and i’ve found a file called chanel.backup maybe can be useful but i don’t know how to load it
i’ve found alsa a file called channel-all.bak in a folder called ride the lightning, maybe i can try to recover from that app

So now i can say great succes!!
the recovery reinstalling lightning node didn’t worked,
but i’ve used the channels.backup file on “recover channels” in the 3 dots menu in lightning node app,
Sincerly my adventure as an operator in lightning network finish here
thank to all the people who helped me
