FILE NOT SAVED error Revit 2020

[Anonymous]

I am a beginner with Revit, I downloaded 2020 and saving was working fine. Today getting this error "File Not Saved." Can someone tell me what to do ? I'm afraid to lose all my work. Thanks..

Yes I found the folder

Any files in there with a RVT extension?

[Anonymous]

No. Here is a screenshot

From Revit, try and open the each of the two large files.

This is the path from the journal folder

C:\Users\alexa\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

but when i go from revit there's no app data folder. i'm really so lost about to give up on this.

thanks for all the help.

Will I lose all the families I downloaded into my model or will those still be there?

No - not that folder.  After \local\ you need Autodesk - not chrome.

okay oops C:\Users\alexa\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 2020\Journals

but either way once i get to user\alexa\ theres no app data folder that i can find

Try and copy it and save it in a place that you can access.

okay copied to desktop and opened new revit window, tried to open it but nothing even comes up at all. doesn't load or give error, just nothing.

I recall having this issue I think, but not exactly what it was. Your work thusfar might be lost for the day actually, hope not ofcourse but I'm afraid it might be... I am trying to remember what the issue was back when I encountered that...

Maybe it was that I opened the project from startscreen (local file), instead of opening the central file (w. create new local) from a network location... ? Something like that...

Maybe its all lost Ive been spending all day and night trying to fix this, apparently can't even work from the old file at the same time .. have a deadline at 10am. 

Do you remember if you fixed it or you just lost your work?

I closed it and now the last back up file I see is time logged this morning but when I open it the file is before I even started working yesterday???
