All files when opened are empty

#1

Hi.

I was editing a large file structure for my job and I decided to install some more packages. I downloaded C++ Starter Kit, Oasis, and Soda theme. A little bit later, I clicked to open another file in the project and a tab with the file name opened, but it was blank. I thought this was a simple error and I closed sublime and relaunched it. Now, there was only the top folder in the project structure and when I clicked expand, it was empty. I’ve uninstalled several times and still have the same errors where if I relaunch it, it has only the one empty folder, and if I then reconnect to the project directory, all of the files when opened are blank. The files themselves are not empty in Notepad.

You do need to reinstall Sublime Text to restore the default settings. You just need to follow this:

I’ve done that twice now, deleting all of the Sublime folder from Appdata, I’ll try it again

Seems to have been a folder structure issue, a second folder with the same name got created at some point and sublime/Windows couldn’t differentiate between them
