Adobe scan couldn't open my file, made an alternate copy, which I used only for it to disappear

Hi,  

Thank you for posting your query here. Could you help me with few details to understand your issue better?  

1. Make and model of device?
2. Application version?  

   Try to check your document cloud:  

Adobe Scan saves the documents as PDF in the Adobe Document Cloud. You may check your saved files over here, Open the link Adobe Document Cloud. 

• If you are not uploading the files to Adobe Document Cloud or saving it to any other location, then the files will be deleted permanently.  

It is not possible to retrieve the files once deleted directly from the application.  

I would suggest you always save a copy of the file to some other location or you can upload the files to Document Cloud.  

If the files were saved within the application, they are by default uploaded to Document Cloud.  

1. Open Document Cloud and sign in with your Adobe ID and the password.   
2. Then go to Files > Document Cloud > Adobe Scan folder.  
3. Here you will see the Adobe Scan folder. Please look for your files here.  

Otherwise, there's not much we can do to recover those files for you.
