Potential ways to Recover Scratch Projects that's been deleted (Trash Emptied)

Method 1) Find the project URL in browser history.

If you cleared your trash (and your project with it), contrary to what people think, you can still get it back.

  1. Check your browser history.
  2. Try to find the scratch's project URL.
  3. Go to that URL, hopefully it'll still exist. (Be sure to be logged in with the scratch project owner)
    • Example: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/934686450/editor
  4. Go to File -> Save as a copy, and you should be able to share it, and see it under My Stuff like before.

Method 2) For previously shared projects

  1. Go to https://scratch.mit.edu/messages/ajax/user-activity/?user=YourUsername (replace "YourUsername" with your username)
  2. Hopefully you see a list of your past shared projects.
  3. Click on your project.
  4. Click "See inside"
  5. Go to File -> Save as a copy, and you should be able to share it, and see it under My Stuff like before.
