You can try restarting the workspace.

First, save (download) any work you have done that you want to keep. Then go to the Workspaces page and locate the one you are using. Click on the trashcan icon on the right side to delete the workspace, and confirm when you get the pop-up.

With the workspace deleted, you can go back to the course and "Launch Workspace" again. When it comes up, it should have all the files you started with in their initial states. Then upload any work you saved and continue with the course.

Hi I just tried to do what you guys were doing because my index and styles folders were blank but I just wound up deleting the index and styles folder what do I do to get them back?

That would be a reason to delete and re-create the workspace itself as I described in my answer.

So I got the index and the styles back, but they are still blank.

If you're sure they should have initial contents, you may want to contact the Support staff.
