Yes I did on both counts.

I generally empty my Recycle Bin every few days. I have not used the file that I am looking for since some time in Feb, so if I had indeed accidentally deleted it, its long gone from the Recycle Bin too...

And since I know the exact name of the file that it was (from Recent Presentations) I did a search, but nothing...

Vibin

Ok I think I know what happened.

I created the file on 6 Feb.

On 9 Feb I accidentally saved it in another name, and changed the content.

I now want to get back the 6 Feb version.

On Explorer I tried right clicking on the 9 Feb file and chose "Restore previous versions" but it says "There are no previous versions available".

Please help...

Have you tried running any file recovery software. This would at least tell you if the file is in the cache to be deleted.

Also when you search for the file try using the date modified box and be sure to search ALL drives including any flash drives you may have used.
