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:

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.
