It's not a hidden file but just try refreshing the folder. You can try searching for the file using Windows Search. Follow the steps mentioned here on this Support article.

Erin,

Try using Chrome or FireFox and then install Lazarus: http://lazarus.interclue.com/. You need to keep the installation up to date.

I also know with Chrome if you shut down a tab with text in it you can right click on any remaining tab and choose “Reopen closed tab” and the closed tab, say of Facebook, should reappear with your typed text still there…

Erin, I'm afraid if your browser is not set to automatically temp-save these entries for you, then you can not do anything once the text is gone. This would be a question for MakeUseOf Answers and I think you did submit it and I couldn't publish it. If you would like to know how to set up your browser so that this won't ever happen to you (again), feel free to post a new question and do include which operating system and browser, including which versions, you are using.

True. You can manage different versions of the document and also get to
compare different auto saved versions. You can review different
versions, delete or recover previous auto saved versions. You can literally use it to track all the changes made to the document while editing.

“Manage versions”? You mean Word 2010 can track changes in the document and save the in different autorecover files? That’s cool if ever I mistakenly overwrite a file…

On Word 2007 you can click on the MS Office logo on top right position of the screen instead of File tab on MS 2010.

Well, it was possible in 2007 too but in a more roundabout way. 2010 has made the process a lot easier. Both depend on the Auto Recover function.

It’s only Word 2010 not Word 2007 or 2003.

Wow, nice work. Didn’t know about recovering unsaved documents is now a feature in MS Office and it’s my business to know about data recovery from MS Office.
