location of temp files

Audacity Help Forum Windows

Hi there.

I have Audacity 1.2.6 for Windows XP. In the middle of a project, the program crashed and was forced to close. Unfortunately, I did not save the file beforehand. A message came up stating I would be able to recover the temp files manually. Where would I find these files? Thanks for the help…

There are instructions for crash recovery on the wiki: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Crash_Recovery
but also, do yourself a big favour and upgrade to Audacity 2.0.2 as soon as possible. Audacity 1.2.6 is obsolete and no longer supported.
