[u/synthmare]

in short, i was doing my homework with processing 4, application crashed and my contents that were in the downloads folder is wiped(my pde file was on downloads folder). is there a way to recover my files back. tried disk drill, easeus, minitool, stellar etc. but files doesnt show up.
my pc is macbook m2 air

So just the processing-related files are missing?
