Missing design and Frozen software.

I use the Fusion 360 for personal use only.
I am a student, and I used it for my project. I worked on the smart chair design for nothing less than 4 days, and when I was done with the design, I could no longer find it. The software freezes whenever I try to open my design. It has been 2 days since Fusion sent me the document, but it has nothing in it. It's completely empty.

The problem is this component is moved a long way from the main assembly. If you hide component14 and do a Compute All (Ctrl + B) F6 will zoom to the rest of the assembly. You'll need to figure out when you went wrong in the timeline and delete the Move or Align that caused the problem.

Just some general advice, looking at your design you are using very poor technique. You should not need to use Move, if you are you're probably doing some this wrong. All the moves and aligns in your design should not be needed, design parts in place. Remove also point towards bad technique as well.

 

I suggest you read Rule #1 for assemblies like this where you create components for each part, not create components from bodies like you have. Are reading the Rule #1 thread start again and come to the design form and ask questions at each stage. You've gone so far down the wrong path with this now there's no way to fix it.

Looking a bit more at your design and I don't think you've grasped the timeline at all. You can right click sketches (and other features) and edit them. In the image below you have 2 empty sketches you could just delete. You actually only need one sketch and one extrude at this point. Don't know what you're trying to do with all the moves, just create the part where you need it. There's a hole you create in the bottom face you delete later in the timeline, you should have just deleted the original hole feature from the timeline not delete it from the model. Designing with a solid modeling program like Fusion means you can go back in time and edit or remove features, not like real life where you have to glue a bit back on!

Thank you for your feedback 
I forgot to mention that this is my first time using this software.

 

When I open the file on my computer, I can't even see any of the corrections you are giving me 
I will try another one to see if the problem persists

You need to hide this component.

Then run Compute All (Ctrl+B) then zoom to fit (F6).

Component4 has been moved a long way away from the other parts (about 9km). I tried to delete the move that's causing the problem but it totally messes up the design when I do that (a good example of why you should not use move or Align in Fusion). Best advice is start again and come back to the design forum often and ask questions before you go too far.
