The_Munchmaster Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Lost file actually. An Excel file, which is important to me. I was using it on Sunday night (on PC) and on Monday evening it was gone, vanished?! I did have a problem with Excel not responding that night which I think was due to my Photoshop Organizer using up all my laptops memory. I checked my recycle bin in case I'd deleted it by mistake but not there. Unfortunately I have not done a backup for a while! I really want this file back so any ideas / software for recovery suggestions would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I hope you had autosave enabled. https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2014/05/26/recover-unsaved-excel-file/ http://www.excel-easy.com/examples/autorecover.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 https://www.ablebits...ved-excel-file/ http://www.excel-eas...utorecover.html As baa99 says the above is the way foreward. I use open office myself, to open and work with excel files, only because it is a free resourse and much the same as excel you can auto recover from a crash ...

khunsanuk Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hi, Try this program: https://www.piriform.com/recuva It allows you to recover files that have been deleted (even from the recycle bin) as long as they have not yet been overwritten by other data.

baa99 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Your file system is probably damaged. You can try chkdsk command to see if it is damaged, but don't let it repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
