Minecraft World deleted from world list after crash, cannot be imported again.
So basically my Minecraft World got deleted from world list after a terrible crash, but the world files survived in the MinecraftWorlds folder. Tried to import the level again by cutting and pasting it again, didn't work. I converted the folder into a .mcworld file and after importing the world again, it gave me "Level import failed" prompt after 3 or 4 seconds. I tried this on Windows 10 and Android both running the latest software and nothing happened. I want to know if my world got corrupted or if I can save it and import it back again.

Check where MC is watching for worlds. Default location is internally (in app). Everyone changes it to externally (accessible by file managers like how you explained). You can check here: Main Menu > Settings > Profile > Storage Location
How can I sent files from external to application?
