Windows Saving files assistance

I'm new to GameMaker but so far, as I delete certain functions to test others, it seems as though these changes are being saved automatically and I can't bring back my original file?

It's intended behaviour. When you test a game, all the unsaved changes are saved automatically, since GameMaker needs to compile an executable for that, also given that compilation happens using the project saved on the disk.

For testing purposes, you should comment your code out rather than replacing it with new one. You can also use source control for safety which allows you to go back to any instant in your project history at any time.

Thanks! I know what you're talking about... Just wasn't aware that it was needed. I greatly appreciate the help...
