    Hello everyone.

    I'm learning to use unity, I'm still a beginner.

    I wanted to create an apk of my android game project, but I didn't realize that the Export Project option was active in the Build Settings.

    (Thinking I would create an apk) hit the Clean Build button and select my documents folder.

    This deletes all the contents of my folder and creates these:
    build.gradle
    launcher
    unityLibrary
    settings.gradle
    local.properties
    gradle.properties

    I know it was a stupid mistake from inexperience, but I lost all my files.

    Please tell me is there a way to reverse this?

    I had very important things from university and work in the document folder.

    Help me please!

    I guess check your recycle bin first.

    Otherwise there's probably applications to recover deleted data from drives. After all 'deleted' files are just parts of storage medium that are flagged as being OK to override later down the line.

    Hi, nothing in the recycle folder.
    Before trying recovery software I came to the forum to see if anyone has another solution.
