[Qgis-user] Help! QGIS crashed and has deleted my QGZ file

[john at john-firth-editor.co.uk]

I'm using QGIS 3.16.0 on Windows 10, standalone PC. I have taken some
training, but am a pretty inexpert user. The map that I've spent several
months developing (for a book I'm writing) crashed on Saturday, and when I
tried to load it just now it is greyed out in the Open Recent list (with an
exclamation mark next to it) and File Explorer no longer finds it on my hard
disk.

 

I attempted to do what your website advised (downloaded DeBug View, which
did not appear to run on my computer). When the file crashed, I had just
added a couple of entries to an attribute table (it's not a large one,
though there are others in the file). I've no doubt someone more expert than
I am could tell me how to extract a crash report, if that would be helpful.

 

Is there any chance of saving my map?
