Upgrade StorageHELP - Recovering Deleted Collections
Hello,
I use Zotero standalone with Windows. This morning I woke up to find that a lot of sub-collections in one of my main collections had become duplicated. I decided to delete what I thought were the duplicate sub-collections. Some of the sub-collections could not be deleted. When I finished deleted what I thought were duplicate sub-collections, when I reloaded zotero, all of the sub-collections were gone. These sub-collections constitute years of work. I am freaking out. I'm afraid to sync with Zotero online, because I'm worried it will forever destroy my sub-collections that I just deleted. What do I do?
Thank you,
Nathan

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
We're planning to have deleted collections move to the trash in an upcoming version.
A couple other people have reproduce the duplicated-collections bug. If you can figure out how to reproduce that, let us know (and to fix it, just restart Zotero).
