That means my files are probably gone. I started using  iCloudDrive  specifically to back up the Textastic Files. I guess I should have continued backing them up to Dropbox.

That’s what I meant. The folders I lost were around for months. They should be in recently deleted. I have a support question with Apple about this.

I created a test folder in Textastic, confirmed that it was visible in the Files app, then deleted it using Files, it showed up in Recently Deleted in the Files app, I was able recover it from the Files app, go back to Textastic and the folder was back.

I then created a test folder in Textastic and deleted it from there, and looked in the Files app, and it never showed up in Recently Deleted.

I just noticed in System Settings I have TWO Textastic entries.

The Textastic folder does not show up in iCloud Drive on the web, but it does show up in the files app.

iOS 12.3.1

It’s not there. Today I opened Textastic and another folder is missing. I did not delete it, would not have deleted it, the content was very important.

It’s not on iCloud, not on the Files app either.
