So I was working on an essay, and I saved the text file, made a new folder, and suddenly when I shutdown my computer and restarted it again, it was gone! I've searched every directory, made sure invisible files were visible, and all around checked everything! even if the file did disappear because maybe I forgot to save it, it doesn't explain the folder I made! I also have soft shell on my computer and it finished a update when I turned it on, don't know if that would help. Anyway, I need this file back for college quick! Please help!
