What are you recording and how? Which computer and operating system and which Audacity? Pretend I’m trying to duplicate what you’re doing but here.

The most likely explanation is that you installed Norton or some other cleanup application and are allowing it to delete your recorded files in the Audacity temporary folder.

In the Audacity menu, choose Edit > Preferences… then “Directories” to see the location of your Audacity temporary folder. If you type in a folder location in the box that does not have “temp” in its name, this may help. Also make sure the drive your temp folder is located on has at least 100 GB of space in case you want to edit your complete recording.

An alternative if a cleanup application is the problem is to File > Save Project As… before you start recording and choose your Desktop or your Music folder.
