I know there is probably not much I can do in the ways of recovery but id like to know if there is any reason as to why this has happened?
You’ve just attached an image of an empty folder named “New Folder”. That doesn’t really provide any information as to what happened. Usually project folders are named after whatever you name your project, so I’d be a little surprised if you were looking at the correct folder, since “New Folder” would be a pretty unusual name for a Unity project. Are you sure you’re looking in the correct place?
I thought this was the folder I have used for the new project but it turns out the project folder is gone aswell bc it was named new unity project (7) I have an 8 and a 6 but no 7 i have checked the recycling bin its not there and the bin has not been emptied since before the project was made and there are files still in the bin that I delted before i even made the new project
