Notepad++ v7.2.2 Crash

Mark Colbath

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?

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

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).
