Earlier today I was having issues with a website so I googled a solution and it told me to clear my cache. After I did that I went to go edit my Twine story but found that it disappeared completely from my browser. That was when I stupidly remembered that Twine stories are saved locally. So, I was wondering if there was any way to get it back? Is there a way to restore deleted cache files? Or anything? My story was for my final project in one of my college courses so I really need it back. I hadn't 'published to file' in a while so I lost a good chunk of my progress.

EDIT: With recovering files, the sooner you do it the better.
I hope you were able to restore your cache and get your story back.
I try making it a habit of publishing to file before I close the browser after using twine 2. I wonder whether it is worth incorporating some feature where a reminder pops up when you try to close Twine asking you whether you want to publish to file?? I imagine something like that would prevent a lot of data loss, since clearing out caches in browsers is fairly common, and probably lots of twiners will do every now and then without thinking about the potential loss in work.
Just a thought.
