I was making levels maybe a year ago and accidentally deleted the .txt file. Can I recover it? If so how do you find it? I thank you if you find a solution because now I wanna polish up all my old noobish levels. ^_^

If you deleted it a year ago then no, almost certainly not.

I was thinking it was in the database. I'm just not sure. :/

Database? If you didn't put it in a database or save a copy of it you're out of luck.

You know what...sorry that's not what it's called. The cpu. It stores everything on it even if something accidentally gets deleted I'm sure.

The CPU is another name for your processor. The recycle bin keeps deleted windows files until you empty it. You can still recover files after that, sometimes, with certain programs. But after a year, the section of the drive that that .txt file was on is going to have been written over a bunch of times. You're out of luck, my friend.

Does that mean it'll just be harder to find? If not impossible I'm willing to search for it. Where do I find where all these files are stored?

After a year of reading and writing to that hard drive, the fragmentation on that file is going to have left it near unrecognizable. Even if you could recover the file, the data would be hopelessly corrupt. Sorry.

Thank you for replying. I got my answer.
