How do I recover lost aspx and solution files

Question

So I made a web application via Visual studio 2017 then just 2 days ago I moved the project folder to a different location, (without checking if it moved the aspx files etc. Yes I am stupid :( )

Now today, I checked that folder only to find that all my aspx files/cs files are gone. The folders left are the css, js, app_code folder (without cs files) etc.

Now I have no idea where the files are (could it be permanently removed??)

Hi TheNewbie,

You can confirm the backup folder in C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\BackupFiles and C:\Users\{username}\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Backup Files.

If there are not files in them, I'm afraid that you need to recreate them.

Best Regards,
Dylan
