Recently, I’ve noticed that the Google Apps Script files linked to my Google account have disappeared without any apparent reason. These scripts were linked to a project on Google Sites and were functioning correctly until recently. However, now I get a message saying that the Apps Script URL "does not exist."
When I try to locate the scripts in Google Drive, they don’t appear in my file list or in the Trash. I’ve searched using the filter type:application/vnd.google-apps.script, but I’ve had no luck. I also tried accessing the Apps Script editor, but the projects don’t appear there either.
Additionally, I had a backup of these scripts in another Google account, but when I checked that account, I also couldn’t find the files there. This situation is concerning because the scripts seem to have disappeared from both accounts.
Steps I’ve Tried So Far:
I’ve checked the Trash in Google Drive on both accounts.
I’ve used the Google Drive search filter type:application/vnd.google-apps.script to try to find the scripts.
I’ve looked at the activity history in Drive, but there’s no recent activity related to the deletion or modification of the scripts.
The scripts were working perfectly fine up until a couple of days ago.
Additional Details:
I am using a free Google account.
I haven’t made any recent permission changes or deletions.
I haven’t received any notifications from Google about the deletion or restriction of access to my Apps Script projects.
This issue is affecting both my main account and a secondary account where I had backed up the same files.
I would appreciate any help recovering my Apps Script files or any suggestions on what might be happening.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Definitely, but it is empty.
Description
- Steps to reproduce the problem (including sample code if appropriate).
Compare the time it needs for the user to enable SAW permission for your app, if you use either of these:
1. Going to app info screen of the app using ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS
2. Actually using the Intent of ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION
- What happened.
The more apps you have that use this permission, the more time it takes to grant the permission using ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION. Can be much more than ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS.
- What you think the correct behavior should be.
Shouldn't be so complicated and annoying. Should take less steps and time, always, than manually doing it via the app-info screen.
I don't see any good reason now to use ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION. Not even if it's the only app that has this permission.
As I have plenty of such apps, it becomes worse and worse in terms of UX, to use the Intent of ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION. So much that I would prefer to use ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS instead.
At least using ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS I wouldn't need to scroll all the way to the app in the list of apps. After all, the current context is the app, so why should I need to see all these apps?
It doesn't make sense...
See attached sample and video.
The ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION should always be easier to use for the user.
It shouldn't show other apps. The context is the current app, so why should the user see other apps on the way?
It's only more confusing.
So currently ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS actually takes less time and is more intuitive to use.
