Hello @colin I’ve seen you assist lots of people with this problem, I used to be questioning in the event you might check out my file? It’s a semi-long story although and I’m certain my problem is totally different than the problem above. I’m an structure pupil, and was utilizing a trial model of Sketchup and dealing on this mannequin a couple of weeks in the past. I labored on it for a few days on March 4th and fifth. At this time, I went to search for the file which I believed to had been saved in a folder on my desktop and it was not there. A number of paperwork I had pulled as 2D drawings have been there within the folder the place the mannequin had beforehand been (to my perception). I checked across the Sketchup information to search out any auto-saved or restoration variations, however discovered nothing. The trial model does nonetheless say auto-save is on. It was not within the current information for Sketchup both, nor the trash bin on my laptop or actually wherever on my laborious drive. It’s prefer it disappeared. You probably have any options for a spot I might look, or a means I might find it. I do know the file identify and date… That being stated, I did what I might solely suppose to do and used a 3rd celebration restoration program to scan my drive. It was capable of find the file and “relocate/obtain” it to my drive. I’m attaching the file right here. Sketchup offers me the message “this doesn’t seem like a sketchup mannequin” message when I attempt to open it. I assume due to the restoration course of, or no matter initially made it disappear maybe. I’m hopeful possibly there’s a method to “uncorrupt” or possibly “unlock?” the file. I’m open to any and all options. I’ve tried a couple of mentions on some threads right here. With out this file I will likely be fairly behind for my courses
THIS IS CURRENT MODEL.skp (988.9 KB)

For the query of discovering information all over the place shortly, you might do that utility:

https://voidtools.com

It’ll immediately present you all .skp information on your whole drives. Perhaps that can present the lacking file.

For the one you connected, it appears to be some random information, that’s largely empty. It isn’t a SketchUp file.

There are lots of instruments and strategies to go looking a disk for a named file. If yours wasn’t erased, simply misplaced, that ought to discover it. But when it was erased, my expertise is that file restoration instruments don’t work reliably on binary information corresponding to skp.
