    while updating recorder samples on 2021.6f1 it froze so I closed the application, when i tried to reopen it was said that it was invalid path. I inspected the location and my assets folder was gone! I have lost my entire project, 1000's of hours of work down the drain.

    I'm just speechless....

    What do you mean by "updating recorder samples"? What manipulation did you do in the Editor?

    I had a similar issue when I wanted to update HDRP samples. Crash and Assets folder gone. Thankfully everything was checked in version control, but still very annoying... That was on a mac and the Project on an external SSD if that makes a difference...

    Yes, it was a devastating loss. I've starting backing up to git. It's not practical as I'm working on film grade assets/production which is gigs of assets, but I couldn't handle that loss again.

    Yeah I can imagine.. We have over 80gb of data too. I can really recommend plastic scm, it's much better in handling large files than git
