I saw an old report of UE deleting a copy of a project if the original was deleted. I think that may have happened as it fits my experience. Frustrating as I see no reason why the copy should have been deleted, the original was 4.6, the copy 4.7. And I don’t see why it shouldn’t go to the Recycling bin to give me a chance to retrieve.
