Recover unsaved XD file

Hi 

I started a new XD project and stupidly continued working in the file without first saving it so it's still in its untitled state. I also stupidly shutdown my computer. When looking on cloud I can see the untitled file but it appears to be empty. I have followed some ChatGPT advice for checking my local cache after I restarted my Mac but I couldn't see anything cached on my local machine. Is there a way I can recover my work?

    ​@helbee chances are it’s gone. Unless, you had auto-sync to the cloud, and if not, it’s just an empty shell
