I lost all my craft because i deleted the save file

I did the same thing once.  I tried a lost file utility, but no dice.  I wish there was an option to simply have the game refuse to create a new game with the same name, instead of overwriting.  I mean, it does warn you, but who reads that stuff?

I'm sorry. That sucks.

On the bright side, you have now learned the value of backing up your saves. This lesson will serve you well for the rest of your life, no matter what kind of project you're working on.

ok thanks, I learned something today

I had a similar occasion, where I deleted the entire ksp folder while moving to a new version, without copying my save over. And even though I had long ago acquired the habit of keeping local backups, this time for some reason, I hadn't bothered...

What I had bothered with however, was to upload a backup on mediafire, a couple of weeks prior to the incident. This contained 90% of the deleted save's craft files and 90% of the career progress. So I had to redo very little.

And to think that I kept telling myself "you're paranoid", while uploading that backup...

I would rather just upload my craft to KerbalX or OneDrive or something. Actually, I do that for all my files, since I'm paranoid about my computer getting stolen or somehow getting corrupted lol :P 

Oh I did that for only 3 of my craft out of loads of craft

Nevermind, I started a new save in KSP and now I am making a 787-9

What OS are you using?
On windows right click on your saves folder and goto properties, and then see if you have a 'previous versions' tab.  If you do then from there you should be able to get an earlier version of the saves folder.  Might not be the most recent version but should be from within the last week.  (just take a manual backup before doing that, in case you then loose newer things! )

I can't find any previous versions I have the tab, but it says no previous versions.

As a workaround you can make a copy of your ships in the save file. Go in save file directory and copy the ship files.
