[BaseCamp] where does BC store files on the C-drive?

[Jerry White]

In windows file explorer, it's in the View menu to see hidden files.

There's a shortcut to it. In windows file explorer  address bar, type
%AppData% and hit enter.

Not sure about being able to restore this from past file backups. It's
worth a shot, since your stuff is all gone anyway. Always good to do File,
Backup in Basecamp periodically, and make sure that file is somewhere safe.
