.FLA file not saved, despite saving... All work lost.

Animate V22.02.02, Win11. I did around 3-4 hours of work, all the while CTRL-S-ing to save my work (file called intro_01.fla). I do this saving method all the time. I also saw the Auto-Save feature activate numerous times, with its progress bar. Then, after around 3-4 hours of work, I saved the file in a new file name (intro_02.fla, like versioning my files). Upon doing this, Animate just hung up, and I had to force-close the application.

Upon opening Animate again, there was no intro_02.fla, only intro01.fla. And, the intro_01.fla file (which all the work was done to) had no content... like nothing had ever been done to it.

Is there any way to retrieve the work I did? Thank you for any help.

did you check the auto-recovery file?

Thanks, Kglad. There is no auto-recovery file anywhere. I searched the system, and there are many RECOVER_[name].fla files, but there is no RECOVER_intro_01.fla or RECOVER_intro_02.fla. I manually looked in the project folder as well as C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC 2019\en_US\Configuration.

If you have further ideas, I greatly appreciate your help.

was there an AutoRecoverFileNames.txt in your C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC 2019\en_US\Configuration folder?

if so were all the files listed already checked by you?
