Sequence gone and not in project panel

Hi all,

I'm working on a video, extremely simple, only a few videos in the project panel with one sequence. I accidentally opened some panels I didn't want and when I went to close them, instead of clicking on the hamburger menu and choosing 'Close Panel', I right-clicked and hit 'Close'. The only thing that happened was possibly the worst outcome: my sequence disappeared. 

 

It's nowhere in the Project Panel, Auto-Saves from just before it happened still just have an empty timeline... Any thoughts on where else I could look? It was simple but it was an annoying edit, so really hoping I don't have to start from scratch.

 

All help appreciated. Thanks in advance

i just had this happen, found the videos in this sequence inside the bottom left panel, project panel, it had the 3 blue dots on them in bottom right, click that 3 dots and it showed the sequence in which i had accidentally closed

I was using a test project yesterday, and had some stuff I wouldn't mind keeping, but I ctrl-z a bunch of changes and quickly quit, and I lost what I want to keep. Auto-save files were there, but didn't help. If you are sure there are no sequences in your project... You can search a project using 'seq' in the project panel and it will find any sequences.

You shouldnt have been able to close the project with unsaved changes - a dialog should have appeared. Did you choose 'don't save'?
