My flows are gone from the app

Posted on by adrian142

All my flows have disappeared from the desktop app!
Where are they stored normally? How can I get them back?
The app shows only one flow:

I had a backup from 15th of May from "L:\OneDrive\Anwendungen\Power Automate Desktop For Windows".

But when I copied the files manually back to "L:\OneDrive\Anwendungen\Power Automate Desktop For Windows" and hitting refresh in the app, they don't re-appear.

Please help!

P.S. I already tried solutions in similar threads without success.

This is a private account, no business account.
Therefore I am not able to see any flow in the cloud.

Have you crossed 100+ flows in overall count? Many folks reported previously when reached overall 100+ flows all of them disappeared suddenly.

This 100 Flow limitation for PAD private accounts has burned me several times. I don't know why Microsoft limits my saved PAD flows to 100 on my personal PC and I have a paid Microsfot 365 account.

@JeffreyDSmith

Please report this issue with Microsoft and keep us updated resolution on this.

For time being the workaround would be like just create one solution and add all your old desktop flows(most inactive flows) and export and keep it your local/cloud drive.

And delete all inactive flows from environment and see it helps you to resolve your issue. Or create new environment in case if you want to create new flows.

I reported it several times over the LAST TWO YEARS. Nothing happened.

I just gave up with Microsoft support, and started keeping my own copy-and-paste backups. I must maintain my current flows below 100 or else they randomly disappear.

The flows are there, I restored them from a backup.
But PAD doesn't show them.
Looking with a text editor inside one of the FILEs:
