Default Ive done it now

I was trying to clear up more storage room on my computer and hit "Remove local cache". I deleted all my cache info on 4 songs (except 1 that was saved to the cloud).Even though I hit restore in the recycle bin, they were restored, but wont attached to 4 non cloud Projects. I cant pull up any of the 4 songs. They are dark links as opposed to active white ones in Projects. I have Pro Tools 1st 2021.7. I got it on 7/21/21
What can I do to get this straight. I re-downloaded Pro tools first no help
I cant create new Projects because it says I have reached max on my Projects. I cant open them up. Help please

Please stick to making one post per topic.

As far as your problem, I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with what you are experiencing.

Well lets look at the problem.
1. I deleted/remove local cache in the Projects tab. on all my songs
2. One was saved to the cloud
3. I went to recycle bin and hit restore files
4. Opened Project one by one
5. Found files in the Project Cache folder ---->PLhaIB-HmzpM_ycj89rHPc-->individual projects
6. In the projects menu I selected file and import once I opened a Project
7. Imported Files
8. Normal projects were returned including cloud song

Most excellent! In the future, I highly recommend creating "Sessions" instead of "Projects". Sessions reside on your local hard drive, while Projects are in the cloud. YMMV, but I am not a fan of having all my audio files "somewhere else" I also highly recommend saving copies of all sessions AND projects on at least 1 separate external drive(saving to 2 drives and storing 1 at another location is the ideal backup method as that covers your ASSets in case of fire, flood, a break-in, etc)
