I lost my file

Dear ALL
I had problems with my computer. It freezed up. And my file disappeared.
However, my Recycle Bin contains the previous version of the file (without
changes that are very important to me). And when I tried (just as an example)
to restore it, computer gave me message "Should I replace X-file with
Y-file".. In other words, it seems like that the file X, which i'm looking
for, is still somewhere in the computer. But, I could not find it through
Search ...

Is there any other way to find the file ..?

thank you in advance

Open the Recycle bin and click on the file you worked on earlier. Rename it
(F2 key, type new name or alter the old name). Then open it. At least you
will have the file without the changes. This highlights the importance of
using automatic file saving, or of manually saving at frequent intervals.
