3 and a half hours of baked lightmap data just got deleted when I unclicked Auto Generate

Is it gone forever? It took so long, and then I edited something and realized it started re-baking, so I unchecked Auto Generate in the light settings and poof, 3.5 hours of work gone. I didn’t have a chance to upload it to git before it happened.

Auto generate is a bad idea, just have it off and click the generate button manually when you want to bake lighting.
