Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

@aidan its probably easier to code it once again

Answer 8

jinx mate

Answer 9

I have encountered this issue many times :(

Now, I try to keep the habit to copy all the code before saving ^^
( saving more often is a good workaround also, but it would be more useful if we can save backup version: I mean, 'stable' state of our codes, before working on a big update -- without saving it at a new code project :P )

Answer 10

That's a very good idea @Visph

Answer 11

thats good . i alwas code first in pc. because
my fingers are fat to type code in smartphone.

Answer 12

it is very difficult to get it back.

you can use a disk recovery tool.

but if it is deletes by your system the recovery software will recover the file with some different name.

Answer 13

nope you can code it again be a programmer.

Answer 14

it may be inside your %tmp% folder if you are using Windows .
but again with different name.

Answer 15

backup, backup every time 😀

Answer 16

@claudio sololearn app doesn't have backup.

Answer 17

Can anybody tell me is it unlimited to save our codes or we have chances

Answer 18

Code isn't normally saved like that. A recovery tool wouldn't do you any good. If you were creating the file through a program rather than a file like creating a .py, then you could have slight chance of recovery. Some programs never fully delete your saves. If this applies in your case, then I would recommend searching through your Documents folder.

EDIT: Didn't see the sololearn tag. Ask one of the devs if they can roll back your saves. I don't know if this would work. All your code is stored in the cloud and they probably fully delete any deleted code to increase the space. They might have a backup server though.
