Scratch files after upgrade
Hello,
I have recently upgraded to PyCharm to 2021.1 from 2019.3 and I realized that all my scratch files are gone.
Is there a way to get them back?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi, scratch files are located in <configuration_directory>/scratches
Where to find configuration directory: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#config-directory
You can copy scratches from the old config dir to the new one.
This doesn't seem to be the case with the upgrade to PyCharm2022.3, I've lost all the changes to my scratch files. Really frustrating.
In previous version upgrades, old scratch files were moved to a folder with the previous PyCharm version's name, now it's just been deleted.
