Body: <p>I am working on a Mindstorms NXT project. Due to annoying bug (cannot find terminal hotpoint thingy) I can't delete a specific block, and if I do so, part of the program will be cut off from the main sequence. I deleted that block and the bug happened, and not knowing what happened, I saved it. I reopened it to find out that part of the program was cut from the main sequence and I tried searching the whole empty space but wasn't able to find it. </p>

  <p>Is there any way of retrieving the lost blocks (other than searching) since the file size is still the same, meaning the lost blocks are just lying around somewhere.</p>

  Unfortunately, it's difficult/impossible to fix your program once the bug has occurred. You'll have to recreate the program from scratch (i.e. delete the file and start over).
  
  There are a few ways to avoid this going forward:
  
  * Save often. If the bug happens, DON'T overwrite your file! Revert to the previous save.
  * Don't resize the white LEGO liftarm thing manually unless you have to. Always let the software decide the spacing between your blocks.
  * Make sure you're using the latest version of the software (NXT-G 2.0). Download it [here](https://www.lego.com/en-us/mindstorms/downloads/nxt-software-download).
