Uploaded a score, tried to UNupload it, now everything is gone.
As the subject line says, I was rummaging around my musescore profile on the website, accidentally uploaded a useless score, pressed "Delete" thinking that it would just "un"upload what I did but now I can't access the score from the app. It was saved to the cloud, not to my computer which is stupid of me. Now when I try to open it on the app it says "your score could not be opened" and then some stuff about how it doesn't belong to my account. I need that score for school though, so I sent my situation to the help support on the website, but if anyone on a forum could help me I would appreciate it so so much. I'm on a 2019 Macbook Pro.
Tldr, I need to recover a score I accidentally deleted on MacOS.

That worked! It was not obvious at first that it did because I still got the same error code as before, but I now have a score in the app with seemingly random numbers for a name, "20209669" that is all the notes I had from before. Thank you! Your quick reply saved me so much anxiety.

Indeed, for a certain reason (?), that's how these scores appear in this "Cloud_scores" folder. That said, now that you've got it open with your computer, all you have to do is rename it as you did before.

It took some doing to completely understand the relationship between app vs website vs files, and I still don't completely understand how one effects the others, but I have everything sorted now and if something goes wrong I will be consulting the "cloud_scores" folder as before. Thank you
