My saved recording is gone

[Melikercan]

Hi all! Today, I recorded an auido in the waveform and saved the recording to my desktop. Later, after saving it, I deleted it on the program with a CTRL+A command and recorded something new. My intention was to combine both recordings afterward. However, upon saving the new recording, I realized it had overwritten the original one. Despite saving it to my desktop, the original audio file has been altered as well. Could someone please advise if there's a way to recover the previous file? It took me an hour to record, and I'd really appreciate any help.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

assuming this is an audition question.

I'm afraid that if you did this in Waveform view under those circumstances (not a good idea - Multitrack recording is a lot safer), you've almost certainly lost it.
