Too many auto-recovery files

[TreeBuffalo]

Hello,

My animate files keep sending themselves to the adobe cloud, then the auto-recovery can't find it and creates a new file. Now I get a new file whenever I save or it saves itself. I've looked for settings in both Animate and Adobe file manager but can't find anything. Thanks for any help.

open AutoRecoverFilenames.txt* and check the file location.

*

win: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\<animate version>\en_US\Configuration

mac: Users/<username>/Application Support/Adobe/<animate/flash version>/en_US/Configuration/

I don't have any files or folders with "autorecover" or "application support" in the title.

folder

Is that on my hard drive somewhere? Cause I can't find it if it is.

my error.  that doesn't apply to macs.

the recovery file (if it exists) is in the folder where you saved your fla. if you didn't save the fla it's in a temp folder.

ie, don't save your fla to the cloud.  save locally.  when you want to sync, copy the fla to your sync folder.

I'm not intentionally saving it to the cloud. It sends itself there. So when I go to save (or Animate goes to auto-save), the file is missing and another one is created. Here is a screenshot of the duplicated files after just a few hours of work.

@TreeBuffalo 

uninstall animate including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

restart your computer

reinstall animate

test by saving to a local directory and checking your cloud files.
