Have you ever deleted all your stuff by mistake?
On thursday i was doing way too many things at once and deleted my entire audioshare files. Yes the trash bin included.
Now at the time, i nearly jumped off the roof of the house.
Two days later it just feels like a fresh start. I had loads of unfinished projects in there that probably wouldnt have got completed.
So its a nice feeling now. I think. ......

Yes, once when I was around 12 years or so, I coded an MS-DOS trojan (malware) that trashed the FAT (rendering all data on the hard disk unreadable). I named it "k.com" and left it in a directory in the PATH.
So one day, I was just hammering away at the keyboard for fun, and unfortunately, at one point hit ENTER - k - ENTER.
That taught me a lesson, and about the importance of regular backups 🙂
(btw, Audioshare files should be included in your device backups too! If you don't want to restore your entire device from them, there used to be software (Windows / Mac) which can browse the backups and lets you extract individual app's files from them etc...)
Deleted all my stuff by accident?
No.
Many windows PCs did that for me over the years.
Some of them more than once.
No but I’ve heard of these guys..
@supadom 👍😂
The first time I saw them in action I was "Wait... WTF"
But I understand you @Small_paul1976 my audioshare folder is one in need of those cleanups
I already did this on Gadget and Garageband, deleting those 8-16 bar loops that where going nowhere
Someday I gotta also delete all packs and samples in Beatmaker 3 (some which came from BM1 and BM2) that are never used
I have got no idea who they are but laughed anyway!!
@Smack_Dammit thats crazy. How did you delete all in Audioshare when it does not do batch files?
Edit : ok you multi selected the Library I guess. I think the devs should remove that Library multi select .Scary
Kill your darlings
yeah definitely i did.
I made patch bank of aroud 120 patches for Nanostudio Obsidian (all based on samples from my analog synths) and then deleted whole folder.
I realised what i deleted >>AFTER<< i deleted it even from trash.
Not nice experience, two months of work wanished to air. Definitely a kind of buddhistic experience :-)))
Haha haha ha haha hee hee hee haw.... YES
lol
Yes, more than once too
I feel almost everyone's done it at least once but hesitate to admit it...
Classic nightmare/dream/opportunity event. If you love someone, let them go. But perhaps not delete them 😀
@supadom 👊
@SevenSystems this gave me flashbacks to ~1993 when I wiped my mom's work computer; it was a 386 laptop (!) so I was like a kid in a very nerdy candy store.
Came to post this ^
Whether it’s an accident or a hard drive dying.... It really sucks but is mostly avoidable.
OP: Sorry this happened to you!
I am happy to see i'm not alone!
Its odd seeing a completely clean slate now in audioshare😕
Hi Paul. Yes, 2 summers back. I lost my entire AS file the exact same way as yourself, which is where everything crucial was saved for me. I thought that AS had a back up server from the DEV to save all of our stuff but he did not. A crushing realization the moment I find out that the DEV had no back up server to save our stuff. I was SOL. I so feel for ya & very sorry to hear this. Good luck in going forward making new music my friend! ~ED
I lost 79 GB AudioLayer instruments when I installed ios beta 13 last year.i forgot to turn off auto backup,so when I downgraded back to ios 12, the ipad made a fresh backup and deleted the old one
So sorry Paa! Geesh, what a nightmare for you, that really bytes doesn’t it. I wish we had a better way (more fool proof way in my case), of saving our precious notes! Cheers, ED PS Paul, You are hardly alone! Do go easy on yourself please! As the other peeps said with our music making on IOS it eventually happens to us all. I mean, it happened to SAMU! I consider him a MM genius. I am amongst real talented folks here and I feel better being able to talk to those that get it and you all do here. My heart goes out to all of you who have lost your valuable time, effort&talents to Technical SNAFUS. It ain’t right!!!

ive had a few HD's crash on me throughout the years, but im pretty good about backing things up.
Lately though, ive been deleting stuff on purpose. I'll go through sessions and if it doesnt spark joy, ill delete it, sometimes ill bounce out a cool element from it, before deleting. If theres a rad drum groove i have or something, otherwise, just trash it. Feels great getting rid of stuff, and then im left with only projects that i truly feel inspired by.
Yes. Don’t want to talk about it.
I'm here to report that even if you delete all your AudioShare files permanently, an iCloud backup will restore them. In what has to be about the 5th amazing coincidence in the last few days, I did exactly this today. I always have iCloud backup enabled and the last backup was from yesterday evening.
Wiped the iPad, stuck it next to my phone to automatically set it up, and restored the iCloud backup. Several hours later, all AudioShare files and everything else except what I did this morning - restored.
I would have preferred a "real" restore that could just restore the deleted files over the nerve-wracking process of wiping everything and relying on Apple to put it all back. But success.
iCloud backup has come through with two busted iPhones in the family, a new device, and now this. I definitely have a hate / love relationship with Apple's idea of a "backup", and I'd be pissed if I was on iOS 12 or something and was forced to update to 13.6 to restore, or if I had old apps no longer on the App Store that I cared about. But I'm not, and I don't, so it's all good.
Now (finally) the point I came here to make: If you delete something like the AudioShare folder. Immediately turn off iCloud backups until you restore. Don't wait to see if there's some other way out. If you have iCloud backup enabled and a new backup is made, it will back up your device without the files you deleted. If that's the only backup you have, you're hosed. Not many of us have more than one iCloud backup to return to, so this is critical. Turn it off first, then figure out what to do next.
Oh, and I have 22 more GB free on my iPad than I did before the restore. Hopefully due to consolidation and dropping of temporary files and not due to anything not being restored.
At 72 I will sooner than later face the ultimate deletion. I should have bought the karmic backup.
You should check out Altered Carbon on Netflix.
I were using Windows as the OS on my laptop computer, but I wanted to give Ubuntu a try. Unknowingly I wiped off my HD..
Anyway, 12 years later and I haven't went back to Windows.

I think that this is the mystery ‘other’ that appears as a grey area on the storage use diagram in settings. A full reset and restore from back up wipes this out and frees it up.
iCloud lost my all of IOS music Audio Share APP and it’s files and everything else back uped to the Cloud TWICE!!! Two different times. I don’t trust it, I never liked the concept to begin with. I pay for monthly storage still but hate it. Not foolproof more like false sense of security but better than nothing. Buyer beware.
