Live 9 Browser Erased Folder

Post by deftones725 » Sun Jul 28, 2013 2:09 am

Anyone heard of this problem?

Using Live 9's Browser, I went to move a folder of reese bass samples in my main samples folder to a different folder in my main samples folder and live totally erased it. The circular arrow next to "Places" made about 2 rotations and that was it. GONE!! Every last one of my "processed" reese samples totally effing gone. The worst thing about it is that ive been away from home for a long time so i havent backed up any of these samples as my backup drive is at home.

Well if Live did delete it, check your recycling bin, it'll be there, no?

Ok,

a) did you manually create this new folder before copying the files to new location?
b) did the directory get created in this new location in your main samples folder?
c) did you wait a bit for things to get re-indexed and show up in said new folder?

It shouldn't have gotten deleted, at least not permanently. What version of Live as well?
