Audacity Forum

I watched videos on Youtube and read everything on here but I still cant export my 11-minute audio. Ive had no problem exporting this same project into a .WAV file until yesterday. Could it be that my One Drive just kicked in randomly?

If your project is on One Drive, then that is very likely to be the problem.

so i lost the file forver?

Can you open the project in Audacity?
Does the project play?

yes the file opens ands plays fine. I even tried saving the project by different names and saving it to my desktop.

and saving it to my desktop.

Good - does that copy work OK?

The project that I saved to my desktop is failing to be exported too. Everything plays well but I cant get the audio online for my podcast.

Can you export it to your "Desktop" folder like this:
1. Launch Audacity (if it was already open, quit and then launch it again)
2. "File menu > Open" and select the version of the project that is on your Desktop.
3. "File menu > Export > Export as WAV" and name the new file "test.wav"

What happens?

I followed your steps and after 15 seconds of elapsed time I got an error message "failed to read from a file in C still."

How big is the "_data" folder?
