TM gone?!

Question

Hi everyone, I have no idea what just happened - all of a sudden Trados 2015 can't find the Translation Memory anymore and Explorer says the file has 0KB. This file contained the translations of the past 3 months. Does anyone have an idea how this could have happened and how I can restore the file? Thank you in advance, Dani

Hi Daniela, 
 
I'm not too sure what to suggest... I guess you have checked your recycle bin in case something was deleted and is still in there? Maybe check your project templates in case it's somewhere else and you hadn't realised? Or search the hard disk for *.sdltm files? 
 
Do you still have the sdlxliff files for the work you have done? If so it's trivial to import them all into a new TM and get back to where you were. I would create a new TM too as the one with 0kb is almost certainly completely corrupt. Even an empty TM has a value.
