[Question] Where do deleted tilesets go?

I just spent the whole afternoon compiling a massive tileset and because I am an idiot I deleted it in the RMXP game, not realizing it would be deleted from the folder.

Does anyone know if there is a way to recover it? Thanks

Did you check the Recycling Bin? Maybe it's still there.

Click to expand...

I've checked and it's not there

I'm hoping there's some hidden reserve of deleted RMXP stuff

Hmm, I think you're out of luck then. You might try Recuva though :l

Sorry, but a deleted tileset will never be recovered unless you have a backup of the file "Tilesets.rxdata" since all the tilesets are packed into one file individual tilesets don't go into the recycling bin but are rather just removed. (Or if you haven't saved your project yet you could close it without saving and reopen it, but I doubt you've got this option left)

That's okay, I will just recompile it!

Thanks for the help, though!

Assuming you're on windows you can right click the whole of your game folder, click properties and then looking along to the previous version tab. You might be able to find and restore and older version from there, you might not. This method is not really that great if you've been working on other things, you could also try on the tilesets folder to avoid losing work.
