Hey guys,
So, I've done batch fixes in the past before and had no problems, and because of that I didn't do an extra backup. Today though, I decided to disable cc for randoms. I have my CC organized into 2 folders, a home folder for all my house decorations etc and a sim folder. When I went to check that everything went fine, I found that the CC home folder was missing, which doesn't make sense because there was no cc in there for randoms. I checked in my batch fix folder for the backup files with the S4S and there's of course nothing in there, because those files weren't supposed to be touched. I don't know maybe it got overwritten or something like that? I checked all the usual places, like trash etc. Do you guys have any tips or things I could try? Thanks in advance. It's years of CC downloading that's pretty much gone as far as I can tell, so I'll try anything.

Hi. This batch fix is broken and the developers cannot figure out in what way without seeing the files ( that were deleted). If you have an example of the packages that were deleted, share them with us please. If no, you can look up how to restore your computer backup or something like this

What sort of example would help? I have a copy of the folder that was deleted from about 2 years ago. Looking through the results txt that s4s provides, it doesn't seem as though it touched the CChome folder I had set up though so I have no idea how this happened.
Like I mentioned previously though, I didn't do an extra backup because the S4S backup folder option has always worked for me in the past. I don't have any computer backup options either unfortunately. If you have any other ideas, let me know.

Your computer could have been making backup automatically, but if you're sure that no, then there's no way of restoring them probably, but lets ask andrew Hi. It seems that disallow for random deletes non-cas items. Do you happen to know if there is a way of restoring them? Or what op can share to give you an insight on what is causing this?

Hi simerly, Batch fixes should not under any circumstances, delete any file or folder from your computer. They only modify a package file, and when they do, the original goes to the backup folder. Have you tried a search over your whole computer hard drive to see if the folder got moved somewhere else?

After a few days of looking and trying to remember everything that happened etc, here's what I suspect happened: I ran the batch fix, there was an error message which can't find anymore (not sure if it's related, but probably isn't). I do believe now that I may have had a couple cas items in my build folder. Either way, since there was an error message I decided to just go ahead and undo the batch fix by placing the cc from the backup folder into my mods folder by overwriting the folder. Since there was probably only one or two items that were affected by the batch fix, when I overwrote the file with the backup file, it effectively deleted all the items which weren't affected by the fix. Which I unfortunately realized too late to utilize the undo button with finder. Sorry for any confusion on my part as I'm not super tech savvy, but that's my best guess. I don't really think there's any way at this point, but thanks for trying to help.
