I discovered some auto-saved and backup files that might contain all the data that was lost. It’s under the Project File directory/Saved/Autosaves/Game. But when I try to move the .umap and .uasset files to the same directory as the other files, they do not show up under My Projects, Open Level directory in the Unreal Editor menu. I see the other levels listed, but not the ones I copied and pasted from the Autosave directory.
I’m afraid I don’t know enough about how the files and support files work with each other. I’m sure I’m missing something. But the Autosaved files that I found are much larger in size than the current level files (the ones that lost all the stuff), so I’m pretty sure those files contain the missing data, I just can’t seem to get the Unreal Editor to recognize them or even list them in the levels list.
So again, I’m asking for any advice on how to restore those files and hopefully get my lost levels back. Thanks!
