Recovery

In the event of a crash, the next time you start Audacity it will attempt to recover your project file and audio. You will see the following dialog box displayed:

Recover Projects

Click on the Recover Projects button to get Audacity to attempt to recover your project. Please note that this cannot always be done successfully.

Do Not Recover

If you do not wish to recover the projects, then click on the Do Not Recover buton. Please note carefully that if you select this option then the damaged projects will no longer be available for recovery at a future time, as Audacity will dlete the temporary project files to release disk space.

Quit Audacity

If you click on the Quit Audacity button, then Audacity will simply close and the temporary project files will be retained, enabling you to decide whether you wish to recover the projects or not the next time you run Audacity.
