Error opening project

The line 24927 is there but mostly null characters. I think the autosave file may be corrupted by the loss of power. You can try the attached which I have edited, but you may only get the first half of the audio where the autosave file looks normal. If opening that file gives an error, please tell us the exact error message.

How did u find the line 24927 (I suppose u didnt count^^) and what changes did u do there?

I use “Go to” in a text editor like Notepad++ ( http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ ) .

I “fixed” the autosave file by removing the offending line cited in the error, as described here Help me to save my project: Error: not well-formed - #7 by Gale_Andrews .

It seems that it doesnt find the right data. So I checked the e00-flolder in the temporary folder and it contains only 4.2 GB. I decided to save this data into another backup folder and I overwrite it with the e00-folder with 8.2 GB. AND HERE WE ARE !!! The data is sucessfully restored!

Thanks for working it out for yourself. I was never sure what exactly you did, but I am guessing you moved the 8.2 GB of temporary data into the “174” project. Therefore to recover from the autosave file whose “datadir” in line 3 was pointing to “C:UsersDELECR~1AppDataLocalTempaudacity_tempproject7675” , you had to move the data back there.
