You need to take a look at the tree structure of the files on disk. Go to your gateway, and then the Ignition installation directory. Start at `/data/projects/${your project name}/ignition/named-query` - follow the folder structure from there. The actual path after the `named-query/` folder should map to the path in your project, ending in a folder with the same name as your actual resource(s); inside that should be at minimum a `resource.json` and a `data.bin` file. ---

If your situation is urgent, you should open a support ticket and get them to look over your shoulder.
