Any anti-virus triggering some false positive and removing the file? Usually that file is only removed by discarding the whole project, manually or via the cleaning task.
Yes, you can close it and if it ever appears again, you can just reopen this ticket.
Thank you for the detailed feedback! Have a nice day.
@NickeManarin It was my first attempt after upgrade
I’m not recreating it now either…
Perhaps it’s overcome by evens on my system? Can I close? (I can recreate/reopen if I bump into again?)
P.S. Thank you for checking into this! I hope things are going well!
