Deleted all files

HELP! I deleted my folder, I thought it was only the samples but turns out it was all of my snippets and now I want to cry. Is there any way to get it back?? Trashbin?? Thanks!

Hi @user62,

Sorry to hear that.

I'm afraid that folder/snippet deletion is permanent. However, I can offer to give you some tips that will help you rebuild your snippet library more efficiently.

What do you think? Happy to jump on a call and help you get on track :slight_smile:

Oh no! I too have done that in the past, and it was a heart-breaker! As a result, I adopted a new practice that has been working well for my team and I over the past year. Instead of deleting snippets, I created a folder called "Retired Snippets". I then put this folder in a "Disabled" status. Now, rather than deleting snippets, I simply move them to this folder, like an archive. The reason for putting the folder itself in a disabled status, is so the shortcuts for these retired snippets do not conflict with any existing or new snippets I make. Here is a screenshot of how I have it set up. Hope this helps!

Great idea @Brad_Hedinger :slight_smile:

Thanks for this message. Reminded me to put EXPORT TextBlaze on my calendar. Simply can't afford to lose TB. :slight_smile:

@frank yep, I need to do it more often too.

As I said, if you need any help rebuilding, let me know. Happy to jump on a call and give you some tips. Rebuilding your snippet library isn't necessarily a bad thing. Some of your older snippets would probably benefit from the things you learned after you built them.

Hi all,

Now you can restore your favorite snippet or folder that was deleted. Please use the account menu (top right corner) to navigate to the trash.
