So guys this is kind of crazy but I figured it out today. My auto save folder was the same folder I was saving as at the end of an edit and puting my pds files in. For some reason everytime a new autosave happened it would delete one of my old pds files. This is clearly a major glitch in the program. Buuuut easy fix. I just made the autosave folder a different folder than where I save my final pds files and now all is good! So annoying I lost all my old pds files with auto saves covering them up but alas I was lucky that I had a back up of the most important ones. Thanks everyone for your feedback and help.

Found only the last one I had edited in auto save folder... Others not there.

Yes, thanks for the idea but I stated in my first reply that I did try the hidden files as well... I'm so confused and distraught

Yes and have tried both. Thanks for trying to help Longedge. It really is super bizarre. I'm actually quite a tech savvy person that is why I am so insanely confused. It literally disappeared.

I can definitely do that and if that works you are a genius! I will try that and get back in touch. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the response. I wish that was the case.. unfortunately no, they were on my hard drive as I had no external drives attached at any time.

Thank you so much for trying to help. Unfortunately when I do that I still am unable to find the files that disappeared. They are listed no where in the search. And I literally went 1 by 1 through each of the .pds files just to make sure and none of them are correct. Any other ideas? I am running a deep system scan with Recuva right now in hopes of something.

I know this sounds unbelievable and that is cause it is. I opened up one of my projects and just looked at it quick and then X'd out of powerdirector, didn't make any changes or anything. Upon doing this all of my pds files in the folder I had opened literally just disappeared. I'm completely distraught and didn't have any back-ups. I have no idea where they are, I have checked everywhere and even ran a Full system scan for both deleted and no deleted files. I checked the auto save folder and they are not there either. If it helps any only my pds files that I personally named disappeared. Any that I saved without giving them a name are still available, they are named "New Untitled Project... etc". Someone please help me, I'm so sad and frustrated that I may have lost hour and hours and hours of work..... Thank you in advance, I am running a windows 10 computer with PowerDirector14
weird thing is if I go to expresspojectcache folder it still has the jpg of the ones I am missing, there are just no project files to be found anywhere. It is even still located in my recent files but when I go to open it up it just opens to a blank powerdirector. And if I go to the folder it says it is in, it is not in there. And I have turned on show hidden files and searched that as well and can't find anywhere.
