Sorry this happened, But I have a few methods for saving. 1. Click the save button, Save it as a file, then click Import \> Png. \> Then select it from files! 2. Press Download and select a hardware or file to save it. Sometimes projects are too big to do that. 3. If it happened a few minutes ago, you can Press ‘Project History’ and it should come up 4. Post it here, copy the link, Go to MakeCode and press Import \> Import URL and paste the link. 5. Make a GitHub Repo to Import as well. I don’t know how to do this one. That’s all I can help with, The projects shouldn’t get deleted usually. This could have happened if you: 6. Cleared your browser history 7. MakeCode starts reloading a lot when it updates 8. If you did clear any data, that might also be why. I can’t help any further.
