HELP! disk clean up = 3 weeks of saves lost

[Sachizm]

Hi
I had a message that my C drive was full so I did a clean. I thought all my Cities files were on D drive in Steam folder.

All saves since 7/7/18 are gone. So frustrating as I have probably spent 30+ hours recently working on a city. Nearly all props and detail.

I downloaded easeUS recovery and that has not brought them up. They are not in recycle.

IIs there any chance of recovering the saves? It also doesnt seem that its just the last 3 weeks. A quick look over the files left it seems a lot is missing.

there is little to no chance of getting the files back unless you want to spend hundreds or more to get the files back.

You can give Recuva a try.
Set it to check the %localappdata%\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Saves folder. (C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Saves)

Did you reinstall Windows? If so, you likely won't be able to recover.

How did you clean it? Usually cleaners won't harm your game files.

but, as AquilaSol recommended, Recuva works great. I have used it several times over the years.
