I turned off my laptop and didn't save my Adobe Illustrator files, then I opened Illustrator and closed AutoSave window because I thought I had everything saved. How to recover my files now? There isn't any .aid files in DataRecovery directory, only "AIDBTemp(symbols)" folders.

When you close the Recovery alert, then the recovery folder will be deleted.
Important: this is not "Autosave". If you want to work securely, then save your files early and often. ALso: save multiple copies of your files as a fallback incase something goes wrong.
