Power Automate Crashed and flows disappeared

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I spent a long time creating a desktop flow and last night the program crashed while making an amendment. I had to use the task manager to end PAD and when I restarted it the flows had disappeared. I had saved regularly throughout the day but I can't seem to get it back now. Is there a way to restore this from cache or OneDrive?

    This happened for me also. PAD stores the flows in the "OneDrive\Apps\Power Automate Desktop For Windows" folder.  I luckily had my OneDrive synced to a local folder on my hard drive, so for me, it was a matter of finding the files in the recycle bin from that folder and restoring those. Good luck.
