File not saved despite saving and exporting in various formats.

Hi,

Wondering if someone can help me locate where a file that I've worked on multiple times might be? I finsihed the file and exported it as SVG, and PDF but the .AI file is not in my recents and my autosave's arent anywhere to be found.

Is there any route to check where this file might be to re-open for an edit?

Thanks!
