MATLAB Online deleted the contents of my file and has no back up

Using MATLAB online, which can often stutter or get laggy but could usually be fixed with a refresh. I had a script I was running which outputs a number to the terminal when complete. After clicking run I got no output when the script finished. Aftter running twice more the window reloaded and the entire script is missing, and the file in MATLAB Drive shows a size of 0 KB.

what just happened? Is there anyway to recover this file that MATLAB seemingly deleted of its own accord?

The only option I can think of is to check the contents of your deleted files folder in MATLAB Drive:

Unfortunately the file wasn't deleted, but all the contents of the file was. I'm concerned about using MATLAB Online and losing any other work I have there as well now.

Were you using a *.m file or a *.mlx file? If a *.m file, you might be able to find an autosaved backup in the deleted files folder. Look for a *.asv file with the same filename.
