That’s the thing, everything on the desktop was removed entirely. Nothing ever went to the recycling bin. I only had 2 projects on the desktop. A project I’m working on and just a default SideScroller that I never touched. I could understand the launcher removed the 2 projects, but it removed files that had nothing to do with Unreal.
Maybe the launcher just doesn’t like the idea of deleting a project outside of the launcher? Maybe everything was moved somewhere else on my pc?
I did have the project I was working on backed up, I was just curious if anyone else had this issue. Thanks for the replies.
