I stupidly deleted a project that I shouldn’t have, and then used Disk Drill to recover the files, because it also recovers the folder structure. I can see the correct uassets in the correct folders in the file folder on my hard drive, but there are no assets appearing in the content browser when I open the project in the engine. The correct folders are there, but there are no assets appearing. I’ve tried Validate Assets in Folder and Update Redirector References but I’m getting nothing. Anything else I can try here?
I accidentally deleted a valuable file, so I used Advik Data Recovery software to recover the files. With its help, I recovered my folder structure, and I even found all the files from File Explorer on my hard drive in the correct folders. This was very convenient because I had tried manual methods, which weren’t working, and I kept getting warnings that my data would be permanently deleted.
We created a tool that you can hopefully use to validate these things.
Add a new folder and see where the references is for the new folder and then see if you can emulate where these settings should exist.
Hopefully the tool below can help. Drag and drop or setup the project using the guide and see if you find any references for a newly added folder then try to mimic.
