Premiere Pro Backups

Hi! I recently was working on a filmclip and every time i saved it it saved as a backup file for some reason. It was located somewhere in my computer and only appeared in the windows bottom left search sometimes , i had trouble finding it.

Now i was just wondering does Premiere Pro CC automatically delete backup files after a month cos i cannot locate the file after looking everywhere?

Thanks

    Premiere does not delete auto save files.

    Your auto save are default stored in your project folder.

    In the Preferences you can set how many time it has to save.

    After that number it overwrites the first etc.

    Under File/Project Settings/scratch disk you can set the folder.

    Make a habit of Save a copy preferably to another drive.

    I fear maybe my Lenovo laptop has deleted them when it did the windows update cos my default C drive was running low on space.

    I still can't find the sessions, but thanks for your help on the preferences part.

    Found them hiding away in the wrong folder. So happy right now. All good :-)
