Eric, Are you sure you haven't got a more recent backup? I have multiple backups (currently 77 - e.g. <gnucash file name>.gnucash.20240208183810.gnucash) in the folder where my usual gnucash data file lives from the last time I opened it - you should be able to open the one with the most recent date and time stamp in the name and then save as you LLC file proper. . It seems you are opening this file directly in the cloud - I've never been a fan of that ? I always copy my file to my local pc (1 of about 5 running Win10/11, Ubuntu, MacOS) using FreeFileSync before I open it and then copy it back when I'm done which works well for me. Hope you can get it sorted.
