Notepad++ crashed and overwrote file with empty version -


i come all-too-familiar tale comes down me not backing enough , suffering consequences of that. anyway, maybe can offer me help, here goes ...

i working on css file in notepad++ (6.9.2), when program crashed. upon reopening program, found had emptied file , saved empty file, overwriting original file. so, cannot recover css file. have checked in user/appdata/roaming/notepad++/backup folder; however, lost file not 1 of ones listed there.

there crashdump file coincides time of crash, not sure whether of in recovering file.

i hoping there way recover file - if earlier version of it. assume i'm out of luck here, thought i'd ask anyway.

if it's not in %appdata%/notepad++/backup may sol. try using deleted file recovery tool, cross fingers, , hope old version of buried somewhere, chances here slim, , 0 if never saved file in first place.

since editing css file, if had page using open in browser , haven't closed yet, it's possible it's still available there e.g. in resource panel in chrome or something. if type about:cache chrome (or whatever favorite browser) can view cache, perhaps there, although not know if browsers make habit of caching local files.

in future, presuming continue use notepad++, recommend enabling automatic backups:

  1. settings → preferences → backup
  2. check "remember current session", "enable session backups", , enter favorite settings.

i recommend using git or version control system keep source files in, committing after large changes, worst case can restore previous commit.

bummer. luck!
