Help: recover last save
-
Hi, I had an error autosave (without doing it on purpose I deleted a line of text) but I can’t go back because the computer shut down due to an electrical problem. How can I recover the previous save?

Unfortunately, it’s likely lost – when a computer loses power, it doesn’t give applications a chance to do their “safe shutdown” routine, and Notepad++ might not have been able to finalize what it was trying to do when the computer lost power. However, our save/backup FAQ does have a section on “my unsaved files are missing” – you can try the suggestions in that section, but understand that there might not be anything we or Notepad++ can do to recover your data. As a result, I highly recommend you read and understand that whole FAQ, so that you can help yourself prevent such data loss in the future.
