        @Siddharth-J ,

        As soon as you close the tab, Notepad++ deletes the periodic-backup auto-save file.

        Unfortunately, at this point, about your only option is to use file recovery software like Recuva.

          Alright, thanks, Is there any specific name, I should be looking at when searching the Recuva search of files it retrieves.?

            @Siddharth-J ,

            Scan the directory that you mentioned. the filename will be based on the original file “name” (new 1 or whatever it was) plus some timestamp.

            In the next rev of the online User Manual, this will be more explicit:
