How do I recover a file? I was working on a drawing via photoshop for 5 hours and my fat finger clicked "exit and don't save" I know my photoshop is set up to auto save every 10 minutes. Is there any way o can recover it 😭

Hi, this recovery is used in case of crash, not unintentional exit... You can still check in the root of your C: drive.

Did you save the file manually at one point during those 5 hours?

Hi @Leanne Maxine22051181j0z9 

Autorecover is for crashes. There is no way to "recover" from "exit and don't save", as the software believes that is what you meant to do.

 

Over the five hours, did you save at the start and every so often?
