i have been working on a game for the past weeks in the education edition of pico 8 but i have only been using the ctrl s function instead of saving to my computer with "save ..." i refreshed the tab today and when i tried to load the file it said "could not load." for some reason i decided to save another empty file with the same name so now if it try and load it it comes up with a empty file. the last time i have actually saved it to my computer was a while ago and i have made lots of progress since. i am uncertain whether it can be retrieved but any help would be appreciated!

thanks

you can try this – no guarantee it will work!

• open the browser dev tools (press F12 or right-lick on the page and find the menu item named Inspect or similar)
• find the Storage section
• find IndexedDB
• look through entries to see if you find your cart filename
