      I know this has been discussed before, but it's my first time coming here.

      So my problem is about opening my sketchup files because they won't work after I recovered them from an unexpected deletion that I am not aware of. I used EaseUS for the recovery and I noticed it has made a bunch of auto-copies renaming my files with at the end "_000", "_001" and so on. I tried everything: refreshing my PC, installing and uninstalling the program, changing file formats but still no luck. I've kept most of my original files away from the auto-copies and I put them all in a Drive right here (don't mind the title, I made some WIPs/concept models for a Mario game as a test): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DqWW7Xv6Sgm0d4LO5wa5MqmEQL8kkGpC

      As I use version SU Pro 2017, I'm not sure if one of you uses in comparison a different version, feel free to take a look and fix what's going wrong to my files, your help is gladly appreciated. Thanks.

        if you still have access to the unrecovered data/drive you may want try the capable (but commercial) 'GetDataBack' (trial avail.) for advanced recovery purposes.

        good luck,

        P.S.: save early, safe often (old sayin')

          I took a quick look...
          The first folder, RIP...
          BM64.skp is actually a PNG file !
          BMHUBNight.skp is a v15 SKP, but it is corrupted and won't open.

          I suspect much the same for the rest.

            Just what I thought, I was able to save one .skp file but the rest is affected by that corruption. I never heard things like sketchup files have data stored inside. Is it something very specific?

            Otherwise I'm testing other recovery tools aside EaseUS, thanks for the recommendations.

              Well I tried to pull it off effortlessly and sadly they can't be repaired..... RIP those models and created and reformed throughout the years since 2013. 😒 I'll never forgive the sudden deletion that day, it happened when I was away from home. 😑
