Trying to recover a file I wrote over

[Jessica Popel <je...@hotmail.com>]

Hello. I had created an excel spreadsheet using OpenOffice that I later wrote over, not knowing I would then need that information back. No backups were saved and there are no previous versions of the document. I scoured the internet and found nothing that would work for me or apply to my situation. I tried restoring my computer to a previous time that would have the document, but the document showed the same information that I had written over the important information that I now need. Is there any possible way of getting this back? Thank you.

As soon as possible do the following: Download Recuva (Windows only) or 
PhotoRec for Win, MacOS, Linux and other OSes (only one needed) and let 
it do an in-depth recovery of deleted files on your computer. You may 
get a file containing some or all of your data (or not). Do this as a 
first priority; other use of the computer may overwrite any existing but 
deleted files and prevent their recovery. There is no guarantee that you 
will recover anything useful.

I know it all. I just can't remember it all at once.
