Visual studio automatically deleted project folder from visual studio "repos' folders

Question

I was wanting to work on a project I made, so I clicked on the solution in the start window of visual studio 2019, and a dialog box had appeared. it asked if I wanted to put it in the "recent files" section, and then, I looked for the solution in my recycle bin, the reops folder, the EXE file folder, and Azure DevOps git, because I thought I was doing into a repository I created, but it was not there. but I found nothing related to that project. Is there any way to get this project/source files back?

Answer 1

If the code is not in source control on azure devops you could try searching for deleted files with a tool. (this might not work) Some examples
