All My Music Download Files Are Gone! Wiped!
 

Hello.

I noticed that since I went and upgraded LimeWire (to version 4.16.7 Pro under Windows) it was just not acting 'right' and seemingly got progressively worse. But during the wee hours this morning the worst thing happened: my entire music library -- saved, shared, incomplete -- every file, got somehow 'wiped'.

Is it somehow possible to retrieve my lost music files? Would reinstalling
LimeWire do the trick?

What a monumental catastrophe!!

Waiting for an answer with great dread but a measure of hope as well.


Thank you.

Eureka! Problem Solved
 

All I needed to do was check another post to realize that
the files might be stored elsewhere on my hard drive.

Sure enough, they were.

I'm still having problems with this version of LimeWire but
I've also noticed that an update is available. I'm a little
leery of updating at the moment. But at least my music
files weren't permanently erased or something.

All's well that end's well.

In my panic I failed to look over other posts/threads . The
solution to my problem lie in wait right before my eyes.

The same thing happened to me when I upgraded to another version but I have not been so lucky. What did you have to do to get your music back again. Should I uninstall and install it again?

Dorothy, I think Greywolf might have been talking about this Thread.


If you've updated LW and can't find your downloads!
Hope this Helps. :D

Thanks Remoc
