Program crashed while saving and I can't find the file anywhere, is it gone?

I was saving an animation (which had been autosaving previously), and Animate CC crashed while saving the file. I've looked every in my computer, and I can't find anything, and nothing's coming up under open recent.

search your os drive for recover*.fla.

If you had already saved it before, even for once, with a specified name, the recovery file should be present at the same location where you saved the original file. A file named Recover_*your_file_name*.fla should be present.

If the file was never saved, it should be available at this location on Win machines:

%LocalAppdata%/Adobe/Animate CC 2018/en_US/Configuration/

(with a name like: Recover_Untitled*.fla)
