Recovery of accidentally deleted files/projects.

[Арсений339910990uqa]

• I worked on mine for a whole month and then my program stopped working and I couldn't even log into my project. After that, I decided to transfer the project to another computer via a USB flash drive. And as a result, I take and delete my 2 projects to the trash along with the Adobe Animate program, and then I clean it up. But when I insert the flash drive into another computer, it writes that it needs to be formatted and all the data has disappeared from it and now there is no access to this one, it is damaged. And it turns out that I have no projects not on a flash drive or on a computer. What should I do? Adobe Animate program.

restart.

How will this help?

[kglad]

have you used file recovery software?

did you have backups?

did you have auto-recovery enabled?

[Арсений339910990uqa]

1. I tried, but I didn't get anything 2. I have an old version of the project. 3. Yes, I have auto-save enabled

[Арсений339910990uqa]

I do not know if automatic recovery is enabled or not. And how do you find out?

[Арсений339910990uqa]

I use Adobe Animate 2020

[kglad]

check your animate preferences 

[kglad]

what recovery software did you use?

did you check for the auto-recovery file?

[Арсений339910990uqa]

1. I used to recover: EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, Wise Data Recovery, IObit Undelete, Hetman Partition Recovery, Herman RAID Recovery, Disk Drill and Wondershare Recoverit. And not one of them found my project files. 2. I have not viewed the automatic file recovery. And how do I get in? It's just that when I deleted Adobe Animate, I deleted only the application that is in downloads.

[Арсений339910990uqa]

The programs found only icons weighing 1 KB and the name of the project

[Арсений339910990uqa]

It's just that when I used the Adobe Animate program, I didn't touch what was automatically added to me with the program itself, that is, I deleted only the installation and the application that was in downloads.

for win users, open C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\<animate version>\en_US\Configuration\AutoRecoverFilenames.txt and see if there was a saved file and, if so, check the folder location listed

for mac users, check the folder (for a file with name recover_) where the fla was saved. if the fla wasn't saved, i think you're out of luck, but you can still search your computer for "recover_"

[kglad]

and i'm pretty sure you used those recovery apps incorrectly.  they had to find something and, if you hadn't overwritten the space where the file was stored, they would have found the entire file.

[Арсений339910990uqa]

Where should I click next?

[kglad]

in the displayed folder you'd find a text file (AutoRecoverFilenames.txt), if you had one.

p.s. in the future, copy and paste screenshots into your message, don't attach them.

[Арсений339910990uqa]

Unfortunately, I do not have such a thing, I am looking for a search line and does not find it.

[Арсений339910990uqa]

But I can fix it, right?

[Арсений339910990uqa]

What should I do?

[Арсений339910990uqa]

AutoRecoverFilenames.txt I don't have it.

[kglad]

ask someone to help you use one of the recovery software packages.

[Арсений339910990uqa]

I tried, it didn't work.

[kglad]

no, you may not be able to fix what you've done. you can prevent this from occurring in the future by learning to save with increasing version number, but what you've done is not necessarily fixable.

[Арсений339910990uqa]

Ok
