autorecover location for linqpad

Question

Where do the autorecover files get saved for linqpad? I lost some queries, and like SSMS, I'm hoping the files are still there, but the autorecover is just not pulling them up for some reason when I start up linqpad.

Alternatively, does linqpad compile to a temporary location? I could recover my work by decompiling the query.

Answer 1

LINQPad's autorecover location is %temp%\LINQPad5

Under there, there are subfolders prefixed with an underscore for each active session. Inside the subfolders is a file with a .autosave extension. The query assemblies are also stored in there.

Just had an update to a newer version of windows 10 and it has moved the temp folder from c:\windows\users\xxx\appdata\local to c:\windows.old\users\xxx\appdata\local. So I was able to recover my unsaved queries by moving the LinqPad5 back to the new temp folder. – Tinkle

This path didn't work for me, but the path in @svonidze 's answer worked: https://mcmap.net/q/1721864/-autorecover-location-for-linqpad – Jacklight

Answer 2

Found my unsaved queries in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\LINQPad\Sessions\LINQPad6 grouped by session folders.
