Hey! Just had a large file refuse to save on me

Hey! Just had a large file refuse to save on me. Then after finally giving up and closing and reopening.
The entire file is now corrupt and wont open.
I've tried opening previous versions.

Tried downloading f3d archives from the web.

What are the chances of recovering hours of lost work at this point? 😡😭

Relatively high. Fill out a technical support ticket on the fusion 360 website.

go into the cache and see if it is there last time this happened to me the file was there I copy-pasted it out then opened it in fusion and it was fine. I would post a link to where to look but I will get a lifetime ban if I do.

I've had this happen before and I had to randomly delete another app on my laptop 😂. It was chitubox. Also, sometimes when this happens, it randomly reapears after hitting every button I can.
