My Adobe Animate 2021 file disappeared

So I have the most up-to-date Adobe Animate 2021, Yesterday 3/26 I was working on a college project where I have to create a small animation with characters. My computer was glitching in a way where you saw lines coming across your screen sort of like when a tv doesnt have good signal. It didn't really come to mind when it was happen and I thought it was just my laptop but I think it is a glitch in the program. I shut down my computer and restarted it, It still was acting the same so I worked on my project anyways because it had to be done. I did a "save as" when I was done a put "Final_326.fla" as the title. Today 3/27 I startup my laptop and The file has disappeared. I have looked everywhere on my computer. I went into my "recents" on Adobe Animate and it says "The file does not exist or can't be found". I found recovery files from yesterdays date but its only in TextEdit with a bunch of symbols. The only screw up on my part was not putting it on a hard drive.... so now I'm stuck.

If someone can please help me that would be greatly appreciated because I really dont know what to do.

Thanks!
