Building Landscape but when I come back it is Replaced.

I’m using Unreal Engine 5 to create a new landscape, when I close the project(after saving) and come back to it, all my work is gone and it is replaced by a flat circle surrounded by hills/mountains. In the middle, there is the Unreal logo, almost as if it were a watermark and I cannot remove it. What is going on and how can I move forward?
