Hello I just had a crash and this is 2 weeks work I have here.
I opened my session and got the ORPHAN FILES message, and all my sound is gone.
HOWEVER I did not change the name of any files, the _aup file is here and the _data file is full of 2 Go of data. the .au file are there.
How can I show Audacity the way to find those files ? Or any way I can open a new session with this data file ? Here attached are 3 screenshots.
This is a 2 week musical work I cannot re-do the same.
Thank you SOOO much for your help !!!
Sarah
Open up your AUP file in a text editor. Don’t save anything. Does it look anything like this? English words in a funny order? I don’t know if foreign language Audacity versions have English, but I think so.
Is it blank? Does it have nonsense characters or full of NULNULNUL?

no it has the correct name in the textedit, see attached document
Here is the beginning of the text edit (too long for me to copy the whole file here) there is no 0000000
