How does Path of Building behave?

I updated PoB after not doing so for over a year (since ~2.25 or since POE 3.21 Crucible League). After updating all my builds in \Builds were gone. I had a nested folder, \Builds\Imported Builds, that was not affected and the builds inside were still there.

I think old versions of pob stored builds in a different directory than newer versions?

Is is possible your old builds are in a different directory?

I don't think so because my custom folder and the files in that are still there.

@liniim Maybe try to use a tool like “everywhere” to make sure the folder or builds are not located somewhere else

@liniim try and search for the name of a build as the folder is not always named "Builds"

A long shot I know, but have you checked the Recycle Bin?
