In a rush I clicked "move to trash" when cleaning up unused clips in a session...
Is all hope lost? It wasn't just a few tracks, it was the entire session. I was low on track count and was bouncing an instrumental down to a two track to program drums to. I did a save as, and imported the two track in to the new session, and then selected every track and deleted it. For whatever reason I figured I'd clean out the audio bin as well, because it was HUUUGE. And then I accidentally hit move to trash instead of remove from session.
This was 5 days of work. It was already approved by the label and the thought of recreating it seems like an immensely daunting task. Please let there be a solution! EDIT: I guess in my panic I didn't think of the obvious... looking in the trash can on my mac. Grabbed all the wav files and drug them back in to the audio folder for the session. Back in business!!

Re: In a rush I clicked "move to trash" when cleaning up unused clips in a session...
I'm assuming you emptied the trash? If not, your files should still be there and you might be able to restore them using a session backup, or at least pull each clip into the session and spot them to the correct timestamp.
I'm also assuming you don't have a backup of the session? We've all done it and lost data, but you can never have too many backups! If you've emptied the trash bin and have no backups, you'll have to use some kind of data recovery software and you MIGHT be able to recover the lost files. Don't continue to write to that drive as your lost data could be overwritten.
