Hi, everyone
To be honest, I'm not sure what I did. I was editing some audio yesterday for a podcast and saved it as an .aup file earlier in the afternoon. I continued editing until later in the evening when I closed that file to start recording a new one. A prompt came up, but I thought it was the usual about saving the file as an .aup, so I clicked okay and the file closed. Now I'm thinking it may have said something different because I went to continue editing this morning and I literally cannot find the file or data folder ANYWHERE on my computer. I even tried a data recovery and nothing came up. It's as if the file just vanished into thin air. I feel like at least the first saved version should come up, but nothing. It was a pretty large file and a lot of work was completed, so I'm desperate for any help in being able to locate it.
I'm on a Mac OS Mojave version 10.14.6
I'm using Audacity version 2.3.0
Thanks in advance!

Re: Lost File
The Prompt closed.so I clicked okay and the file closed.
And then you closed the lid on the laptop or shut down the machine or put it to sleep?
If it was a long show, it may have still been saving and had everything open when you closed the lid. Did the multiple saves all have the same show name?
