I wish I could explain but I’m simply trying to put an HTML and it’s adjoining Javascript and CSS back into it’s folder that is now reading empty.

My project was to correct the code on one file by comparing it to a similar file that was done correctly. These two files were in separate folders “Working Code” and “Broken Code.” Currently everything is working but the “Broken Code Files” have disappeared from their original folder and the I can’t seem to get them back into their folder. The previously broken code html file is using the javascript and css from the working folder because that’s the only way it would save. It would not save as a broken folder while it is empty. The previously broken javascript and css files can be found but when they were connected the link to a wiki page did not work. It works now but the facts are those of the originally working folder.

I’m supposed to get all this together and upload a folder to a google drive and submit as homework tonight. LOL, I’m laughing because I have done and redone this same project for days and every time I wake up in the morning to do it again, things have changed and something else is wrong.

If your code is in the recycle bin you can probably get it back by right clicking on it and selecting Restore from the menu to get windows to put it back where it came from.

Sounds good but how do I know which file to use and if it will still be correct when it restores it back? Some strange things are happening this morning like IE and MSN browsers superimposing themselves on my Chrome defaulted PC, and how they ended up in the trash bin in the first place. Is it me or does my system have a virus.

Well, I can’t help you there. The one in the recycle bin is the one that you or someone/something else deleted, so restoring it will bring it back to where it was, but you still need to know which one is the one you meant to keep and which one is the one you meant to delete.

Maybe yes, maybe no. I don’t know that I would consider IE/Edge being used to display web pages a virus necessarily because aspects of windows don’t respect your default browser for a variety of reasons.

Files getting deleted might be virus activity but could also be that you accidentally deleted them from within Sublime using the side bar menu (perhaps thinking it would just remove them from the project?). It seems like if a virus was going to maliciously delete your files it would do it in a way that didn’t make them easily recoverable in the recycle bin.

Either way a virus scan and/or a check for Malware is probably a good idea in any event just to be safe.

Thank you, thank you. You are taking considerable time with me and it is truly appreciated.
