So basically I opened obsidian and it was a latest ver. But all my vaults were gone and I pressed on ‘open folder as vault’. All my folders were still there but I accidentally made a vault from my documents folder. I was dumb enough to delete the vault and now my whole document folder is gone and all my months worth of notes is gone
Things I have tried
I tried searching in my files recycle bin but none of my documents are there. I searched for file recovery apps and downloaded some but it didn show any of my docs.
Vault is an interpretation of a folder. When you say that you deleted your vault, you either mean you deleted the folder you used to open as Obsidian vault, or you told Obsidian to no longer list that folder as a vault. Obsidian doesn’t give option to delete a folder that was opened as a vault.
Tough there is a way to achieve that if you try hard enough. I mean, if you are using nested vaults, and your Documents folder is a sub-folder in the other vault, you might have deleted it that way. Even then, Obsidian’s default behaviour for deleting a file or a folder is to move it to your local account’s trash folder.
