Hello,
I am currently freaking out a lot. My file which includes my Math final for my college class got permanently deleted over night. I don't know how and I don't know what to do. I have tried contacting Microsoft support and they told me to take it into a shop to have it checked. I don't want to pay extra money and was seeing if there's anything I can do that somebody could help me do. At this point, I am about to just drop out because the project is due in 2 days and took me 2 weeks to do. All of my raw data and time logs were in it and without this file, I will flunk the class and not get my degree. Somebody please save me.

You'll need to provide more detail on what happened before anyone can help you. That said, Word doesn't delete files of its own accord. It is possible for a user to delete the document and/or the content of a document, however.
