SketchUp File Won’t Open – “This does not appear to be a SketchUp model” Error

Then I guess your only option would be to start over.

It’s possible you’re saying that folder is not found, and not that you found the folder but not the auto save file.

In the hope that it’s the folder you didn’t find, try copying and pasting this into the path field in File Explorer:

%LocalAppData%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2025\SketchUp\working\

Had you worked on the same model in older versions of SketchUp? If you only recently changed to 2025, the previous version copy of the file may still be somewhere.
