retrieving file

[Elle]

wondering how to retrieve a file, lost due to rural internet connection break down. When opening recent file it shows only a version of what I worked on 3 hours ago, not the version saved 15 min ago. When opening VW back up folder only files from last year show! Please help, knowledgeable ones. Thank you!

I suppose you have searched on the filename or parts thereof by now? What were you doing at time of crash?

 

If file is important it's a good idea not to use the drive until you've searched it.

 

IDK what your system is (win /  mac / other) but sometimes files end up in odd places (especially with crashes.). I have also seen file names get truncated, which makes finding them ...not fun. Searching whole system for all files saved / created  / deleted around the crash time is sometimes the only thing that works.
