I just open my project and I have this error showing..

the url is: https://www.figma.com/design/TzXFpxf65PU9qEgiQ902Jz/VideoDiary

the name was VideoDiary

and I last access it yesterday: 11 January

it’s frustrating because this file is really important to me, and it disappeared without notice.

Hey ​@Riccardo Carlotto — glad we got in touch here. Sorry to hear about the trouble, let’s take a closer look together.

I can’t access or share account-specific details in Figma Forum, but I do want to make sure this gets resolved as quickly as possible. I’ve gone ahead and opened a ticket on your behalf with our Product Support team. Your case number is: 1683041, and they’ll be in touch as soon as they’ve had a chance to review.

In the meantime, if you haven’t already, I recommend checking the best answer in this thread, which includes additional steps that have helped other users locate missing files: Deleted Files (recovery).

I’ve also removed some personal information from your original post to protect your privacy. Please keep me posted if those tips help, and keep an eye on the email inbox tied to your Figma account for next steps.

Hello ​@Tom Reem any updates? I wanted to check if my case was actually opened, as I haven’t received any confirmation email.
