I accidentally deleted my script.
While Scriptation takes automatic saving and cloud sync very seriously, if a file/folder is manually deleted, outcomes will vary depending on device and storage location.
If the file or folder was stored on...
Dropbox: Login to Dropbox.com and check "Deleted Files". After selecting a file or folder, tap Restore.
One Drive: Login to OneDrive.com and check "Recycle Bin". After selecting a file or folder, tap Restore.
Local Device Storage (a.k.a "On My iPad" / "On My iPhone"): Tap the File Browser, then Settings, then the Trash icon:
Then tap the ... next to your file or folder, and tap Put Back. The file or folder will be restored to its original location.
Google Drive: If the file or folder was stored on Google Drive, it can no longer be retrieved, unfortunately.
iCloud: If the file or folder was stored on iCloud once it is deleted in Scriptation, it unfortunately can no longer be retrieved from within the app, or on a single file basis. The only potential way to restore the file is through restoring your entire device with an iCloud back-up.
To check the date and time of your last full device back-up, go to the Apple Settings menu. Click your Name/Photo, tap iCloud, then Manage Storage, and finally, Back-ups. After selecting your device, you can see if your most recent device back-up was before you deleted the files.
NOTE: The only exception regarding iCloud is in the case of a file being deleted on another device while a local copy was still present. If you tapped Delete on the following message, the file can be found in the Trash Bin as per above.
NOTE: Restoring a device from an iCloud back-up may have a variety of downsides, including data loss on files which were created or edited after the back-up time, or data loss with applications that are not included in the iCloud back-up.
Deleted files and folders can be retrieved from the Trash Can icon on the Mac Desktop.
