    i've been making this 3d platformer, so today i tried to import an asset and it gave me an error, i quit Unity in hopes that it didn't save me importing the asset and when i opened it back up again all the objects in the editor was gone. Is there any way to recover it? it took a really long time to set up don't think i can re-do it as well as the first time.

    Most likely you just need to reopen your scene file.

    i
    i used the default scene, the one that is already open now,
    i didn't rename the scene yet before it happened, does that effect this?
    bc i don't see any scene apart from the starting scene

    Naming the scene isn't what matters but did you ever save the scene? If not it may be lost.

    nah... i didn't save the scene...

    but i do have an old build of the game so in theory a saved version of the scene exists, But i'm having trouble getting the scene out of the Unity.file to import into Unity.

    Do you mean getting it out of the executable or built game? That's not a thing. You would need to go to the modding community for tools that might try to reconstruct a scene file from a built game, but it would rarely be useful to do it... just remake the scene.

    As I wrote to you in the earlier thread, use source control.
