Godot Version
v4.3.stable.official [77dcf97d8]
Question
I am working on a topdown 2D robot game and I have made a lot of progress thus far on it. Due to low-space on my hard drive, and also just a lack of knowing when I want to back my stuff up (and getting carried away), I do not have any, but I will start making them immediately after this on an external SSD. For now though, I really don’t want to lose my progress on this project, as this was already a project rebuild.
I was trying to make a player_shader in my Player scene. I didn’t finish the code, but it didn’t have any errors.
It asked for a texture to be fed to it so that it could work. Then I tried testing the game and it opened and closed immediately. No errors that I remember. I tried it again, and then I think Godot crashed.
I have since deleted that shader file to no avail.
And now, I can barely open any of my scenes. Most of my scripts are fine, funnily enough. I can open them fine. Most of my textures seem fine too.
Here’s the error log:

I also get this when trying to open my Main.tscn.
I get the same error when trying to open any other scenes, but I also get these messages in my error log:

How do I fix this? Can I fix this? What did I do wrong? What can I do to prevent this in future? Thank you! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What I’ve Done So Far
As mentioned previously, I tried deleting my .godot folder. I tried restarting Godot, and restarting my computer.
EDIT 1
I have looked into how to fix corrupted files, but they seem to target specific issues with the files that can be fixed by delving into the scene files themselves with a text editor, not plain old corruption. Not sure what to do.
EDIT 2
Ok cool so I checked some of my scene files in notepad and SublimeText and uh… The files seem to be completely empty. I checked Main.tscn and Player.tscn.
Now what…
