I titled a new merge with the same name as an existing mod's folder like an idiot. All the assets are gone. Is there anywhere they were deleted "to" that I could retrieve them? #224
I was working on a project and wanted to merge in some other plugin files, and I, like a complete fool, titled the new merge the same as the folder that the initial plugin was in, resulting in an error as one of the included plugins was instantly deleted by the program.
There was a thread open in 2020 regarding ZMerge not checking that the folder it's merging into is safe to clear before doing so. I don't know if there's been an update to cover that since then, but I hadn't noticed if there was, so I'm still running a version downloaded about 6 months ago.
Is there anywhere that the files from the folder got deleted to? I checked the recycling bin, but none of them were there. I'm just really hoping there's like, a cache folder or something somewhere.
I am very sincerely sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about this, and for potentially not running an updated version of the software. I'm just pretty broken up about losing all of the textures and sounds I edited for this mod, and I'm desperately hoping that the files still exist somewhere. The backup folder just had the esp in it.
