Try contacting scratch admin (email / contact us page). Don't know if they can/will do it but give it a try. Sorry about your lost work, must be really annoying! How did you lose it?

well… I was looking inside of somebody's project, I was thinking to remix it. Then all off a sudden the site crashed on me for putting in too much code blocks. 1 DAY OF WORK LOST

And I also contacted the scratch team, they did nothing about it and just sent me an automated message

Projects normally auto-save every few minutes, so I don't understand how you lost it. ???

It does not auto save when you look inside of someones project

Oh, so were remixing for an entire day!?

Yes, but I heard that scratch stores unsaved files somewhere.. How do I access it?

You cannot access those back files as far as I am aware, as I said before, the only thing you can do is try and contact the scratch team.
Maybe have a look at this

If you can, I recommend using the Scratch Desktop application and saving local copies of your files. This lets you do a bit of versioning, and you get to choose when and how your projects are saved. If the website crashes for any reason, your work will be safe.

@GlueGourmand Scratch Desktop does not work properly. That's why I use the website

Interesting… I didn't know that there was a meaningful difference between the two. I've spent all my time in the Desktop Client, so I guess I wouldn't notice differences with a sample of n=1. I searched the forums and wiki for information on Scratch Desktop specific bugs, but wasn't able to find a list or a discussion of the differences dated after 2015.

This isn't an important question, so feel free to ignore it, but I'm curious about this subject. Is there a list of which bugs are specific to Scratch Desktop?

The voice blocks wont let me type text in them, and when I try to resize a sprite it just vanishes.

There are a lot of different system configurations out there, so these bugs may be somewhat hit and miss… which would definitely make them harder to find and patch.

I did take a moment to test with the Scratch Desktop Client, and I have no trouble with voice blocks (once I enable the extension), and sprite sizes seem to change as expected with positive and negative values. I tried both a simple program and a direct edit, and both appeared to operate nominally.

Test performed on Scratch Desktop 3.6.0, Mac OS 10.13.6, 2020.04.20. Your mileage may vary.

Then it might just be my computer because I have many problems with it.

Not to be Captain Obvious, but did you push “Remix this Project” BEFORE you started messing with the Scratch Blocks?

I would assume that something being unsaved would mean that it isn't saved anywhere
