YRC1000 Backs up old files

    Hello, long time lurker first time poster here.

    I have noticed a weird problem with a YRC1000 that I am programming for a customer. My usual workflow includes moving files between robot and PC depending on where it is easier to make the changes I'm about to do, and I have a folder called PROG on my USB-drive for that, where I only store jobs and save/load when making changes. Then I also create folders named for example 20231127_A where I save full backups occasionally. When comparing changes between robot and PC before uploading changes I made at home I noticed that there were a lot of changes that weren't new, and after a bit of digging noticed that the files saved in todays folder was about a month old. After a bit of testing me and the customers programmer came to the conclusion that when I save a backup by going into the categories separately (JOB for example), and from there select certain files, or use EDIT -> SELECT ALL, I get the current version of the program that is actually loaded in the robot. But if I don't go into the subcatecories and just press EDIT -> SELECT ALL directly from the SAVE window, I get the old files.
    Has anyone else ever seen anything similar? Customers programmer had never had this happen and he has worked with Yaskawa a long time.

    are there any programs with the same name in trash folder of the controller?

    Now I'm on location again, and figured I'll have a look at this problem, I was going to look in the trash folder but I cannot find it. I also can't find any information on Google about where to look. I could imagine that it shows up in the "Select job" menu if there is anything under it, and the fact that I don't see it would mean that it is empty, but that is just a guess.

    The Job Undelete Function is turned on (Valid) under SETUP, TEACHING CONDITIONS.

    If there is anything in it, the icon will be under JOB, TRASH JOB LIST.

    I know a thing or two, because I’ve seen a thing or two. Don't even ask about a third thing. I won't know it.

    Okay, so as I can't see it, it must mean that the folder is empty. Then it cannot be caused by that. Maybe it's just my USB-drive that's going bad.
