I use Obsidian on two PCs and two smartphones. I noticed a week ago that on Phone 1, there were two folders with almost identical contents and names. I had just done some reorganizing so I thought I’d forgotten to delete a duplicated folder and deleted the one I didn’t need. Except, it wouldn’t delete from my phone.
On both desktops, the second folder had never appeared to begin with. I figured it was a sync issue with the mobile version and disregarded it.
Yesterday, I was reading one of the files in that folder on my phone, and suddenly the file vanished and the entire folder–the folder I need–was gone. I panicked and looked in my device’s trash, but there was nothing. I checked both desktops and there’s nothing in the recycle bins either.
Things I have tried
I checked the forum for things like “how to recover deleted files” but those weren’t helpful to me because the lost folder and files aren’t in system trash or obsidian trash. I’d love some help. This folder contained a novel I’m in the middle of writing…
Thank you for reading
