Re: audio blockfiles missing, please help!
I suspect that you have been using "Save As" to save back to the current open project (rather than just using "Save").
A nasty bug crept in in version 2.2.0 and remained in in 2.2.1 until a user posted on the Forum in late December with this problem.
We have now foxed this for 2.2.2 - which you should download immediately: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/
Alternatively if you decided to stick with 2.2.1 please always use File > Save or its shortcut Ctrl + S to save your existing open project
and only use File > Save As to save your project to a different filename.
Sadly I think that your existing flat-lined project is not recoverable.
