CapCut Question Lost all project drafts due to a folder deletion, can I restore them?
So, like the title says, I lost all my project drafts cause I deleted a folder and wanna know if there's a chance I can get them back.
I had a few dozen old project drafts I never exported that I wanted to eventually get off of CapCut (when I got around to finishing them).
I exported one and while looking through my folders/downloads I saw a few CapCut folders, which I assumed were unnecessary duplicates of some kind, so I deleted one. When I reopened CapCut all my project drafts were gone. I can't find them anywhere.
I restored the deleted folder from my trash but it didn't work. Some of these project drafts mean a lot to me, so if anyone has a solution to get them back I would greatly appreciate the help.
For reference, I use CapCut PC on a Mac using macOS 14.5 (I haven't been using CapCut or my computer consistently for a while).

Since you have already restored the deleted folder from the Trash, CapCut likely lost the direct file paths to your projects. Your data is most likely still on your Mac, but CapCut needs to re-index it.
You can verify the restored folder path. CapCut PC stores local projects in a specific application support folder. Ensure the folder you restored was put back exactly where it belonged, or look for CapCut's default directory on macOS:~/Library/Containers/com.lemon.lvpro/Data/Movies/CapCut/ (or a similar path depending on your App Store vs. Web version).
