hi @eatyoushay ,

Please could you try moving/saving in a safe area the “Saved” directory

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved

The AppData directory is hidden in Windows file explorer normally

Restart UEFN 
If that does not work try moving/saving in a safe area the “UnrealEditorFortnite” directory

The files are in your personal space %USERNAME%

If you are sharing as a team URC Revision control may be you can recover the project
