in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Loaded .atn files or newly created and unsaved action sets are temporarily stored in the Actions Palette presets file (Actions Palette.psp). This file should be considered temporary and may be subject to corruption or loss, which is why making an explicit save to .atn file for each individual action set is strongly advised

One should manually save out each action set "folder" individually to a .atn file using the menu on the upper right of the action panel window.

Sadly, this happens a lot, so I wrote about the issue in detail at my blog:

There's a very slim chance of .psp file recovery if you haven't saved .atn versions (if you have backups of the system including the .psp). Good luck!
