i am not able to see any of my notes , it just says me to open a new vault and i dont know where is my data is in my system
i exported my notes from joplin for obsidian and from then i never saved my work or exported and today its all gone please help me
is their any way to recover that my files?

#2

in which directory di you put your vault?

#3

yes i checked that directory but the notes that i made from obsidian arent their even i cant see them anywhere on my system

#4

which directory? what OS are you using?

#5

/home/x3rz/snap/joplin-james-carroll/40/stuudy

and i am using manjaro
also i started working in that same dir of stuudy when i exported it from joplin

#6

you exported from joplin to which directory?

#7

this directory called “stuudy”

#8

but you said you exported, if you didn’t move the files what do you mean by exported?

#9

and this is also the only vault i was working on

i meant to say that i exported my notes from joplin before switching to obsidian

#10

did you uninstall joplin? does obsidian even have access to the snap subdirectory of joblin?

#11

joplin is still installed in my system and yes this was the only directory that i was working in

#12

We don’t delete notes and I think Joplin doesn’t do it too.
One thing that comes into my mind is that the snap folder in your home might not be a good place to put your vault because it may come in conflict with the virtualization/containerisation approaches used by the Snap system.

#13

okay i understood but how do i recover my notes now its all gone now

#14

If you moved them you can try to find them using the find command.
If they have been deleted, you can try a recovery tool but it’s gonna be tough.

#15

i literally did that but
find / -name ‘obsidian’ 2>/dev/null

but i am getting nothing out of it which is related to my notes or any link from where i can trace back them

#16

it’s better if you search for the name of one of your notes than ‘obsidian’

#17

i just check it but i cant see my recent note on which i was working on
