File showing as 'Another user's Drafts' — but I'm the creator and have only one account

Hi, I'm experiencing a strange issue with one of my Figma files and I'm not sure what's going on.

I have only one Figma account. One of my design files is showing a yellow banner that says "This is an unassigned draft file" and when I try to move it, I get a dialog that says:

"Current location: Another user's Drafts — You can't move files that are in another person's Drafts."

The problem is, I am the one who created this file. I have no other Figma accounts. The file doesn't appear in my projects list — I can only access it via the direct link.

When I open the Share panel, it shows no named owner, just "team admins" and "Anyone can view".

I did share a view-only link to this file with some people, but viewers shouldn't be able to take ownership of a file.

Things I've already checked:
- I only have one Figma account (one email)
- The file is not in my Drafts, Recents, or Deleted
- I can still open the file via direct link
- I have not deleted or moved it manually

Can anyone explain what happened and how I can recover full ownership of this file? Is this a known bug?

Thank you!

    Hi ​@Rusu Daniela, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

    Thanks for taking the time to share all of these details. I understand that you're unable to locate or move a file that you created, and that it's now appearing as an unassigned draft file in what seems to be another user's Drafts despite only having a single Figma account.

    I can imagine how concerning this must be. Thank you for outlining the checks you've already performed as well, including confirming that the file isn't appearing in your Drafts, Recents, or Deleted files.

    I was able to locate your support ticket (#1942581) and have gone ahead and escalated it with the team for further review.

    In the meantime, please keep an eye on your inbox, someone from the team will follow up with next steps soon.

    Appreciate your patience while this is being investigated 🙏
