Where is my scratch project?
Yesterday, I made a game on scratch, I clicked save as and gave it a name. Today, I opened scratch and made a quick animation, and clicked save, named it Test.
But when I tried to open my game its gone from the scratch projects, and now its only Test. Help? The game took me ages and I will be horrified to see it gone

You probably saved it in a different location to where you're looking. Try clicking the five tabs such as 'Comupter', 'My Documents' etc: to see if it's in their. 
If not, do you remember where you saved it?

Re: Where is my scratch project?
Do you download a lot of projects? The project you just completed might have been put into your most recently used folder without you noticing. Check your downloads!
Hope this helps!
Be happy! Spring is coming! And spring cleaning...

Re: Where is my scratch project?
i have the same problem. i made a game that was simple on the outside but quite complicated on the inside, took me forever to make it. i called it "spin2win" and saved it. i wanted to upload it to scratch and forgot that i did it through the actual application. so i opened scratch back up but my project had disappeared! i looked for it everywhere but couldnt find it. i did a full computer search using the name "spin2win" and the date modified. didnt show up. what gives?!?!?! :,(

the larger the file size, the longer it takes to save it. If you closed the application before it was done saving, then you would have lost it.

Re: Where is my scratch project?
There are a few possibilities. 1. You saved in the wrong place by accident. 2. You named it test and it was overwritten by the other test. 3. You could have closed it while saving, which would delete all the data. 4. You just can't find the title of the project, which has happened to me by being careless, by not looking hard enough.
Hope I Helped!!!
