Deleted the wrong project on the dashboard

Questions

When I started using Defold, I created a project on the dashboard and uploaded the zip of my game so that it can be played.

Later I wanted to synchronise my project from the Defold editor but I was not able to select the project I created before. Instead another project with the same name was created.

Yesterday I deleted the old project but somehow the new project got deleted instead.

I know that I cannot get it back but now I cannot even synchronize from the editor.

The dev log is still visible on the forum but I guess it is broken as well because the community page is missing.

I made a mistake but since there is no link between the dashboard and the community page (the link on the dashboard is broken) and because both projects were named the same it was very difficult to distinguish. And I was sure that I had figured it out by looking at the order of the projects in the dashboard and on the community page.

The statistics are still there, because started those on the wrong project as well.

Now what can I do?
Can I somehow link the project (on my computer) with the remaining project on the dashboard?
Can the thread in the forum be linked to the remaining project?
Or should I start another project?
This would be the link of the old, remaining project: https://www.defold.com/community/projects/151337/

I’m sorry to hear about your problems. We are currently reviewing the whole dashboard solution and discussing various alternatives. We see that more and more users host their projects on GitHub nowadays and good third party analytics alternatives also exist. We will provide the community with an update on this soon.

My recommendation in your case would be to create a new project.

Do you mean creating a new project in the Defold editor, then moving all files from the old project to the new one? And finally synchronising it to the dashboard?

Create a new project on the dashboard, copy the files there but don’t copy the .git folder. Then you can use synchronize from the editor. But I’d recommend that your start using GitHub for project hosting instead.
