How to recover a accidently deleted manuscript
Hello,
I accidentally deleted a 100-page manuscript and was hoping someone could
help me retrieve it? I've searched everywhere and can't find it. I don't
know enough about coding to be able to search in a deeper manner.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Jacqueline D Olsen

What is the extension of the recovered file?

Robin,
Yes, that was the first place I looked. Then I purchased one of the
programs Rory recommended, but, regretfully, it was not recovered. The
actual manuscript was recovered, but it was in all garbled words, so I
wasted $70 for nothing. I don't have a choice but to start over again!
Thanks for your help.

I can't tell you how to retrieve it, but for future reference you might want to make PDFs of every OO document you make.

After several years on this list and seeing people "lose" documents by
not following backup copy strategies I think it´d be worth to make
AOO:
1. Automatically save in a Backup Folder dated revisions of every file, eg in
C:\USERS\$USER\DOCUMENTS\
create a folder
C:\USERS\$USER\DOCUMENTS\AOO_TIME_MACHINE
Inside, every document ever opened and edited, would be automagically
saved there every 10 minutes as
¨"C:\USERS\$USER\DOCUMENTS\AOO_TIME_MACHINE\MyDocumentName-backup-MM-DD-YY-HH-MM.ODT"
Machines come with several-gigabyte SSDs with 1TB no longer being the
oddity it once was... so it´s unlikely we´re going to fill up the
users HDD or SSD with 2MB files.
"The maximum file size for Microsoft Word documents that only contain
text is 32 MB. This is true for documents created in Microsoft Word
2007 "

100 page manuscript and no timed dated backups? Tut-tut!
Look at the methods set out in this tutorial for recovering deleted files
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=85038
If you have limited computer skills, my instinct is that you should immediately download and run one of (only one needed) PhotoRec or Recuva, and let it do a recovery of deleted files. Google for the appropriate download sites.
The sooner you put a recovery process in operation the better.
