where are my actions

I ran r-studio on my C:drive and I was able to recover loads of the actions palette.psp from today and previously.  The one from today is borked, and gets deletd by photoshop.  It's frustrating that my action from today is in there, but not accessible.  If I knew how I'd try to parse it and extract the steps.  Anyone with knowledge of how to do this, I'm all ears.

But at least I've got the ones from a few days ago.  NOW, I used to religiously save my actions after each session because of the pain of losing some years ago. But just a few days ago I was thinking that I' blindly doing this, but its 2018, surely adobe backs these up now or sends them to the cloud.  Adobe has never had any finesse when it comes to relieving the burden of the user for housekeeping tasks. So what an arse I am for thinking after 20 years they'd suddenly get good.

I agree, they are likely gone for good, however the following may help (if not now, perhaps in the future):

But in case you never saved the Actions as atn-file/s they are likely gone for good.
