career save says i just started?

[bmtzebra]

computer got accidentally turned off during sub-orbital flight above kerbin 

quicksaved luckily just before my foot rested on the off switch 

but when my pc restarts and i load up ksp my career save says 'just started'  and when i click 'load' nothing happens 

any way to fix this issue and recover my hard earned space program?

thank you so much for any support this is killing me

there is a corrupted save, to solve it you have to go:

the folder where you keep ksp/ksp/saves/ (name of your career save):

here you will find few  things:

1) you have then to delete the last persistent file (ONLY the persistent, NOT the persistent.loadmeta)

2) go to backup and take the last persistent file ( it will have the date between brackets) and place it where you deleted the persistent at point 1

3) rename the persistent file you have just moved deleting the date between the brackets

4) Done!! You should be good to go, having just lost the last 5 minutes or so of gameplay

Confirmed: still works as of March 8, 2020- you saved my two year old save and a few dozen ships! Thank you!

OMG Thank you! Somehow my save was corrupted and your way worked like a charm! I was right above Eve preparing for decupling and entering (with return) as my first ever EVE landing. You saved me!

glad to be helping, it saved me a lot of times too, so i want to share. Ksp is already hard enough when it works as intended.
