I copied the data directory from mysql folder and uninstalled the XAMPP as the MariaDB was not starting. I installed XAMPP same version and backed up the data folder into mysql data directory. At first only copied the required database folder named production inside the mysql data directory. PhpMyAdmin showed the tables correctly though no record/row was there and it showed "Table doesn't exist in engine". Then I copied all the contents from the DATA folder to the mysql data folder and now it does not start. Now the problem is MariaDB is not starting. I tried setting the innodb_force_recovery but it failed to start the mysql.

The error log is given below:

Was able to get back the data.
Step 1: Move all the file from mysql/data directory to data_old directory except mysql and performance_schema directory.
Step 2: Copy back the ibdata1 file from backed up directory also copy back the folder with the name of the database you want to restore.
Step 3: now start mysql, you will be able to see the database. use mysqldump to export to a sql file.
Step 4: Uninstall mysql / xampp. Re-install xampp.
Step 5: create a database with the name of the backed up database. and use mysqldump to restore the data.

Also remember phpMyAdmin may not work after deleting it's database, so you may need to switch to console.
