Do you syncronize multiple different physical vaults to the same remote vault?
Can you clarify what your setup is?
When I go to sync -> view deleted files I do not see those files in the list.
I have Obsidian on my home MacBook Pro running Big Sur. There are two vaults on that device that are each a synced vault. I have Obsidian on a Windows Desktop at work that has two vaults linked to the same two sync vaults.
How many remote vaults did you configure, one or two?
There are two remote vaults. I have not had one of those open in this time frame. Both lost files were from a single vault.
Also - I have been doing a huge amount of work the last few days. The sync log does not go back past this morning when I pull it up. As I said previously the view deleted option does not show the files being deleted in the time frame I know they had to be.
Is your vault on you mac synced now?
It says it is, sync log shows activity including my last edits.
if you take one file out of your vault and let it sync, does it appear in the deleted files list?
Take it out using file explorer or delete in Obsidian?
both should be the same. Try both ways please.
Do you regulalary keep the sync on? Or you keep it off and turn it on occasionally?
Both techniques of removing files showed up in view deleted immediately. I keep sync on all the time.
That is odd, let us know if it happens again and/or if you have repro steps.
on the file you recovered, if you right click on it and click view version history, what do you see?
Just a markdown version of the file and a button at the bottom says “restore this version”. Checking the version though it has edits that I have made since restoring the file.
Yes but was it ever deleted?
Will notify if it happens again - not very hopeful though about repro, I had no idea until I tried to open the file. At the moment it’s possible others are missing and I have simply not stumbled onto them. As I said I have a folder I can backup on the Windows machine before opening it up to sync so I will not have lost any work.
How would I know if it was deleted? There is nothing there about earlier versions - all I see is the one I restored and edited.
can you post a screenshot of the version history of one of te files you recovered?
