Deleted default profile data lost all other profiles MPMissions

[sgtice 10]

As the title reads I tried to delete some of the files in my default profile, specifically Username.ArmA3Profile & Username.vars.ArmA3Profile. Upon doing so all of my other profiles MP missions were deleted, some of which go back about 5 years or took a lot of work.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to get the info back, seeing as my MPmissions folder for my custom profile seems to have been deleted or relocated. I can search for some of the folders within, but it tells me they aren't there anymore.

look in your recycle bin, hopefully they are still there and you can restore.

That's the first thing I did, it didn't go to the recycle bin at all. I sent the 2 profile files to the recycle bin but my MPmissions files are gone for no apparent reason.

Just found out not only did I lose my Missions that I had been working on for the last 5 years or so I also lost all the work i've done in the arsenal for my missions. This is just great. How deleting 2 profile data files can delete everything, even on other profiles. Thanks Bohemia.

You tried to check in the MPMissions folder located in the A3 root folder? Give it a go.

If you can't find it anywhere, go where your RPT logs are and check in the MPMissionCache folder (how to locate RPT -> https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files just in case...)

Regarding the arsenal stuff, I guess you just deleted the profile you used to save it...

I deleted 2 files from the default file, the MPmissions in the directory are for missions that I download from someone else.

Deleting 2 of the default profile which I do not use deleted everything, my control presets, arsenal, missions on all my profiles.

I once thought I lost everything too. What happened was that I picked and dragged missions folder into another folder without knowing it. Do HDD search for all mission related files, you never know.
