How to restore a replaced file in Premiere Pro

[Niels35464069qh8x]

I am a Premiere Pro beginner and I just started a new project. Because I didn't name my former project, I accidentally replaced it with the new project also named 'Untitled' by even clicking 'Replace' out of a relfex. Now I am panicking very bad, because the other project seems gone and unrecoverable due to the replacemant. It is really important for me that I get it back, but since I am working in Adobe Cloud, I don't see any way how to, as most video's on YouTube direct me to the local disk, where it never was... So the question I have for you is: How do I recover a replaced file?

Btw, I think Adobe should fix this by atleast naming the other project just Untitled (2) or something, instead of replacing it. As a beginner, I basically didn't even know how to name the project at first. Now I see I can do this at the left bar. I feel so stupid, but I am also really tired as it's midnight.

Check your Project Preferences - make sure you are auto saving

Autosave was on, backup was not.. Can I do something with it? There's no autosaves in Team Project Hub, the location where it autosaves..

[Jeff Bugbee]

File - Project Settings - Scratch Disks.

Check the location of your auto save

Hopefully, you will find an auoisave, as suggested by Jeff Bugbee.

In the future, you should consider backing up your projects, as well as saving them.

If you cannot locate the Auto-Save folder, try searching for files that have the ".prproj" file extension.  Thoes are your Premiere Pro project files.

You see they would have a title naming feature..... if Adobe Premiere Pro was actually GOOD.

@matthew_3043 

Are you thinking something other than having the Project Name text file highlighted in the New Project dialog box?

Or something other than the Save Project dialog box that informs the user that the project already exists?

Premiere Pro IS actually good. 

Untitled(2) is not a bad idea, but how long did you work on it using "Untitiled"?

Save things as you go.

BTW: Here's a good free plugin, that would help you keep various copies of your projects and sequences as you go...
