Hi,

Yesterday, I deleted an unneeded project in the project list of Studio 2017.

I was working in a different project and when I closed it, I got an error message saying that the project could not be closed because it did not exist, or something of the kind.

The project still appeared properly in the project list.

When I opened Studio this morning, it got stuck for a long time while opening the project view. It finally did, but the project and also some of the last projects I had been working on were no longer in the list.

When I tried to open the .sdlproj file, I got following error message.

"Impossible to open this project in the Studio version you use. Only project packages and standalone documents can be opened"

When I try to open a project package (any project package), I get this message.

"L'accès au chemin d'accès 'D:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-18' est refusé."

Basically, the access to the recycle bin path is refused.

I had to free space on the computer yesterday and I deleted a lot of sdlppx and old project zip files. It went fine for the sdlppx files, but I got a black screen when trying to delete the zip files, which were in many different folders (short black screen, Explorer closed).

The recycle bin seems to work fine now, but the problem in Studio might come from there.

I reinstalled Studio but the problem is still there. I can work in a standalone document, but I cannot open project packages. I do not understand the relation between opening a project package and the recycle bin.

Could you help me with this issue ? 

Thank you very much in advance.
