FCPX Project disappeared suddenly

This is the second time this had happened to me. I started a project a week ago, almost finished editing and when I come back today to continue, I couldn't find the project in my library. I only found the file name in __snapshots with the currentVersion.fcpevent file which cannot be opened. I looked through my backups and couldn't find the project either. It is like it had never been created before.


p.s. I am using Final Cut Pro 10.6.5 and MacBook Pro Ventura 13.3.1. I store my media on an external hard drive and my library is in the internal drive.

This is while the application is open or closed?


The library structure looks quite unusual. The event is called All Vids? What's inside there? That's where Original Media and Transcoded should be as well as the projects 1st game and Untitled. What are you seeing in the library? Can you send a screenshot of the library browser?


The folder Untitled Library is designated as the storage for backups? Untitled is your only library?


What happens when you trash preferences? Does the application create a new Untitled library in the Movies folder.
