Urgent Problem

I've been animating on a file that was titled something along the lines of recover_something181884747.fla. I realize it was a recovery file, but I continued to animate on it, with it appearing in my recents. I had gotten into the habit of pressing command S every 5 minutes or less, so I know for a fact I'd saved it. The file seems to have disappeared, and I've followed previous threads that instruct me to go into the configuration folder in the en_us path to look for the recovery file, but I'm only able to find a bunch of files, none of which seem to contain any sort of .fla file, which is odd, because I also have a seperate recover.fla file that remained in the recents. I have a deadline of less than a week from now, and I'm starting to panic. Please, someone help me!
