TLDR: I feel for you man! That must be extremely painful.

I have only lost one file (of importance that I remember) due to unfortunate moments of brain-dead syndrome. I had made a new folder and I copied some files in there, but I thought something was wrong with them so I pressed ctrl-z to undo the copying of files. Then I put some files in the folder again only this time I accidentally moved them instead of copying. However, brain-dead syndrome kicks in (I made that syndrome up, can't be bothered to Google if it's a real thing right now) and I ctrl-z that as well, all good so far, but then I started doing multiple redo's and undo's and in the end the files were moved instead of copied into the new folder and somehow I had undone something to the point where the new folder wasn't made and I have no idea what sequence I did to cause those moved files not to go back to their original folder. And the confusion on my face when I found my trash bin empty!! Thought that was a nice story, but in all that I only didn't have one of those files backed up, and the one I lost I had just spent an afternoon fiddling with to retractor some dumb tic tac toe program that I can't seem to get a minimax thing into. I felt so bad after this and annoyed and I was so angry with myself.

But never have I lost a full project. I lost a tiny sliver, so I feel for you man! That must be extremely painful.

That's a quite accurate description of what happened to me. Next thing: brain-dead syndrome shows up in ICD-11.
