  • Recover deleted auto-save files?

    Posted by Jonas Björkhag on November 24, 2019 at 8:33 pm

    Hi!

    Im working on this project where I’m creating titles in Adobe After Effects CC 2019.
    I did a version last night and sent to the client. He did not like it at first and asked me to do some changes. So I continued doing changes and sent him a new version today. He then changed his mind about the previous version saying he likes it and wants that. The problem is I didn’t save it since he said he didn’t like it and the auto-save folder now only contains versions of the never look which he obviously don’t want.

    My questions is: Can I in any way recover an auto-save file that has been auto deleted/removed from the auto-save folder? Where do auto-save files end up when a new one is created?

    Many thanks for any help!

    (macOS Mojave 10.14 + After Effects CC 2019)

    Found a solution!
    Downloaded and bought “Disk drill” recovery software and found the earlier auto deleted auto-save files. Puh! The feeling!
