Missing Audio Data Block File

Post by amanda52686 » Tue Jul 17, 2012 5:06 pm

Hello,

I had saved in my Documents folder because it was still a work in progress and then this morning I went to complete it and it was gone! I received an error message saying "Missing Audio Block File. Project check of "Medley_data" file detected 73 missing files....." My fiance went through and deleted songs on iTunes that were unable to be found so I'm wondering if he deleted my project and if there's any way to recover it?

This article explains the structure of an Audacity Project, so it will give you an idea of what you are looking for. http://manual.audacityteam.org/manual/h ... jects.html
If you are lucky the deleted files may still be in the Recycle Bin, in which case you will be able to restore them.
