    Notepad++ crashed while I was saving a file. When I re-opened Notepad, the file was empty. I had about three days of work in that file. Any idea how to recover the file?

      @Mark-Colbath

      if backup functionality was enabled then you might find something under
      notepad_installation_directory\backup.

      Cheers

        If you are on Windows you might right-klick it and choose “Restore previous versions”.
        (same as r-klick, “Properties”, tab “Previous Versions”).
        According to Windows Help, there’s one backup per restore point (haven’t checked if settings influence this).
