Problem: STM32CubeIDE deleted all my projects inside workspace, and created new directory as per workspace choosen after renaming a folder in my PC, which was included inside workspace in STM32CubeIDE

[JAkht.1]

Info:

|- STM32CubeIDE 1.4.0

   |- OS: Window

Description:

  - I have chosen working directory/worskspace -> e.g.: C:\course_1\cubdeide_ws

  - (STM32CubeIDE was closed)

  - I have then renamed my course folder -> e.g.: C:\course_2\cubdeide_ws

  - I then opened STM32CubeIDE to do project (STM32-Projects)

  - I had encountered the following problem:

  - All projctes inside folder/worskspace 'C:\course_2\cubdeide_ws' (renamed one) was deleted

  - I should only have 'C:\course_2\cubdeide_ws' directory in my PC, but I also had 'C:\course_1\cubdeide_ws'

  - In folder 'C:\course_2', I had my stuffs from before, but there are no any projects inside 'C:\course_2\cubdeide_ws' folder

  - In folder 'C:\course_1', I have a folder with path 'C:\course_1\cubdeide_ws', but even there, there is none of my projects

Problems:

    1. All my STM32-Projects are gone/deleted (it's not even in Recycle Bin)

    2. Why is STM32CubeIDE creating new fodler (same as choosen workspace before)? Before renaming any folder in my PC, do I have to check whether the path is included as workspace by STM32CubeIDE:expressionless_face:?

But this is crazy. I lost my about 8 projects (realted to CAN, Ethernet, ...). Now I dont't know what to do :(

Hello @JAkht.1​ 

With older version of the STM32CubeIDE tool such issues was reported.

I am using the latest version (1.11.0) and I am not able to reproduce the issue.

Could you please provide the .ide.log and the .log files. They are under the .metadata directory in the workspace folder. Also could you give a clearer description of the scenario that have generated this behavior.

Thanks and kind regards,

Semer.

good time to start using some version control tool such as git, maybe github?
