Hi I have a Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra and I'm using Audacity 2.3.2
I had a recording that was about 85 minutes long. I saved it as an aup. Then i added a 60 second clip and hit save rather than save as, and lost the whole file. i can see the file name in audacity, but when i click it it loads an error message. i still have the data file with all the millions of little sound clips.
is there any way to recover this file?
Thanks for your time

Re: retrieving lost file
Did you move or rename either the AUP file or the _data folder?
