After downloading a file from email and then working on it for an entire afternoon, it has completely disappeared even though I saved it in the directory that I wanted to save it in. There is nothing in the cache or backups even though autosave is configured in office. It is as if the file never existed. 2 people need an answerI do too

Hello Sue0981 Have you run a system search for the file name? Maybe it was saved somewhere else by mistakeAlso if it was a Word ".doc" run a system search for ***.docAll ".doc" files will be returned.If you think it has been deleted from the hard drive, do not use the machine until you try a file recovery program Restoration http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html Undelete Plus http://www.snapfiles.com/get/undeleteplus.html PC Inspector File Recovery http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pcinspector.html.
