Lost Workflows - Desktop

[Ker9]

Hi,  I updated Alteryx and lost all my workflows. 

They were in the Sample Data folder and it is now empty.

I thought I backed up, but can't find it.

Heartbroken - any ideas?

I'm usually good about backing up.

Sorry to hear this. Do you have OneDrive sync to the folder? There may be earlier versions. Also, check your Windows “Previous Versions” (you can right-click the folder, select Properties, choose Previous Versions)

If this helps, please like the comment. Hope you can find your files back!

Everything is gone - why would it wipe a folder like Sample Data - totally empty.

Alteryx, perhaps give us a reminder message to back up before updating.

This is my fault for not backing up (I thought I did), but Alteryx certainly didn't help the situation by wiping everything during an update.

Not even sure I got the right update, it's  2023.2.1.7 Alteryx Designer x64 - I think I was trying to get 2024 or whatever was latest just prior to 9/15.
