Exported media not showing in Explorer

I'd like to clean out my songs that I've exported from projects, but they're not showing in Windows Explorer.
I can see the default ones, the ones that come with Scratch, but not my exported ones.

I'm certain the file path I'm going to on each is the same. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Scratch\Media\Sounds)

Showing hidden files is on, so it's not that.

I'm using Windows 7 Pro.

This isn't a huge problem, but I'd like to fix it.

Thanks in advance for any help!  smile

You might not be using an admin account, try saving on your desktop.

My account is the only one on the computer, so I don't think that's it. Thanks anyway! I'll try that.

Edit: I can see the files if I save them on the desktop.

To find your original songs, you could try using the Search bar. Other than that, good luck on finding your music!

Yes. TRUST NOBODY (except Cassiedragon).

You might wanna check Documents\Scratch Projects, it might have taken you there.

No, I'm certain it was the Scratch sounds folder.

Internet Explorer doesn't support certain features of this website.

Re: Exported media not showing in Explorer

Wow, this is a very interesting problem. I tried to duplicate the problem by exporting the default meow sound to the Sounds folder (I also have a 64-bit system) but it's there. I have Win7 Basic, so it probably has something to do with your version of 7. The only solution I can think of is to open the ancient cmd and run "cd ../.." and then "cd Program Files (x86)/Scratch/Media/Sounds" and then "copy meow.wav meow2.wav", whick will copy meow.wav to meow2.wav in the same directory. That might work if the problem is just that it isn't showing up in Explorer.

I guess it's incompatibility with your OS and Scratch, meaning it didn't get exported in the first place.

I can see it when I press 'Import' in Scratch, though.

Don't think so...  tongue

I went to the location manually (by going to C hmm , Program Files (x86) etc.) and it was the same as just the Export folder.

Right Click the menu above the icons.
"Shown hidden folders and files" or something like that.
Does that show them?  hmm

So you see them in the scratch browser? Give it a refresh maybe?

That wouldn't work because it doesn't exist, proven by an earlier cmd experiment... This is a very weird problem.
