topic Recovering apps and widgets accidentally deleted from WAB Developer version? in Web AppBuilder Custom Widgets Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/web-appbuilder-custom-widgets-questions/recovering-apps-and-widgets-accidentally-deleted/m-p/783378#M2900 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>My app builder&nbsp;dev crashed and in the process deleted/removed one of my apps from the folder on my local machine (the server app, not the stemapp) which had several modified/customized widgets that took a LONG time for me to develop. I could see in the js.node window that the widgets were removed when a corrupted config file was applied to the app. After the crash I was able to get to the WAB homepage but none of the apps would open and in the midst of frantically clicking around I think I deleted the app from the list because I could see it was removed in js.node The builder was not connected to AGOL or any account at that time but was just in a residual webpage that had been running before the incident. But now all is gone and I have no idea where js.node removed them to - not in the recycle bin and Recuva could not find them either. Does anyone know if there is any way to recover theses, or am I just out of luck? Thanks, cob</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:28:22 GMT CharlesBailey 2018-01-22T14:28:22Z Recovering apps and widgets accidentally deleted from WAB Developer version? https://community.esri.com/t5/web-appbuilder-custom-widgets-questions/recovering-apps-and-widgets-accidentally-deleted/m-p/783378#M2900 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>My app builder&nbsp;dev crashed and in the process deleted/removed one of my apps from the folder on my local machine (the server app, not the stemapp) which had several modified/customized widgets that took a LONG time for me to develop.

Well, maybe this will prompt someone to back up their server apps frequently, because there seems to be a hair-trigger on obliterating local files.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Jan 2018 15:14:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/web-appbuilder-custom-widgets-questions/recovering-apps-and-widgets-accidentally-deleted/m-p/783380#M2902 CharlesBailey 2018-01-22T15:14:38Z Re: Recovering apps and widgets accidentally deleted from WAB Developer version? https://community.esri.com/t5/web-appbuilder-custom-widgets-questions/recovering-apps-and-widgets-accidentally-deleted/m-p/1058463#M14499 <P>Wow, I guess we're just sadly out of luck on this one.&nbsp; No room for human error on this one.&nbsp;</P><P>I just lost an app by mistake.
