Had a crash in the B4A IDE where suddenly just all the code in a module (B4XPages module) just disappeared.
No idea why this happened. Phone is a Samsung S25, plenty of storage space.
The Windows PC has less storage space and could do with a clear-out.
Managed to get it back to normal, but noticed 4 SQLite (SQLCipher) databases had disappeared from File.DirInternal.
Two of these were large databases, about 4 Gb.
Any idea how this could happen?

How is the IDE crash related to the device File.DirInternal storage?
The only connection that I can see is that the crash happened in a module that deals with a large map database.
This database is in File.DirInternal.
I have no error message, so no help from that.
What might be of relevance that this is a large project, 104750 code lines and this can make the IDE sometimes a bit sluggish.
