If you are as greedy as I am you better look up for free software! I used to find a lot of reviews of that kind of softwares. But I remember only two that would work for Windows - Recuva and Disk Drill https://www.cleverfiles.com/recover-unsaved-word-excel.html

how can i recover my unsave document?

Oh no, the dreaded situation of an unsaved document! Don't worry, there might still be hope. Here's what you can try to recover that unsaved document:

1. Check AutoRecover or AutoSave: Many applications, like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, have built-in features to automatically save your work at regular intervals. Look for an "AutoRecover" or "AutoSave" option in the application's settings or preferences. If enabled, it might have a backup of your unsaved document.
   
2. Look for temporary files: Sometimes, applications create temporary files while you're working on a document. These files can be located in specific folders, like the "Temporary" or "Temp" folder on your computer. Use the file explorer or search function on your operating system to look for files with a similar name or file extension as your document.
   
3. Utilize the "Recover Unsaved Documents" feature: Some applications have a specific feature to recover unsaved documents. Look for this option in the "File" or "Open" menu. It might present a list of recently unsaved files that you can choose from.
   
4. Check the "Document Recovery" pane: In applications like Microsoft Office, there's a "Document Recovery" pane that appears when you launch the program after a crash or unexpected closure. It can show any unsaved documents that were recovered.
   
5. Look in the recycle bin or trash: If you accidentally closed or deleted the document, check your computer's recycle bin (Windows) or trash (Mac) folder. It's possible that the document might have been moved there.
   

Remember, these steps might not guarantee the recovery of your unsaved document, but they provide the best chances of finding a backup or recovery option. In the future, it's always a good practice to save your work frequently and enable auto-save features to avoid potential headaches caused by unsaved documents.
