If those were all on the compuer that you reinstalled Windows then all the sync data is gone. Sync only sync from device to device it isn't a backup option.
Sync does however connect to a Sync server as I mentioned to you multiple times including in /questions/1395878#answer-1546216 as it is not only device to device.

Sync can potentially be used but yes it is not really meant for backup purposes.
