I am attempting to recover a document that has vanished since I closed it even though I had saved it. I downloaded a ZIP archive with a doc in it, which I opened and began making changes to. I hit Save As early in the process and now realize that I didn't specify the directory, rather just used whatever appeared as default (which it now turns out was a directory something along the lines of C:\Users\Bryant\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.933). As I continued my work, I hit Save many more times and never got any sort of error message. When I finally closed the document, I couldn't find the file anywhere on my computer. Some threads I've read indicate that Windows automatically deleted the temp folder that it had been saved to, and I have not figured out any way to recover it even with file recovery software that I've tried.
Is there any way I can recover that temp folder and that the document in it will still be salvageable?

When most documents are created, whether it be in a word processor or photo editor, a temporary file is automatically created. The file remains as the temporary, or temp, file until it is saved as its own individual file. These temp files can become very useful, especially if the program unexpectedly shut down or crashed before a user could save the file. Once the temp file is recovered, a person can use it just as if they had saved the document.
but if the file is delete from the temp even you can ever bring it back even if you pay for some kind of software's.

Maybe this will work : - if you remember the file name
go to ControlPanel>folderOption>view click on "show hidden files, folders and drivers " apply and Ok
then go to drive "...

then go to drive " C:\ ' on the top right side you have search option type the file name there and click Enter

so maybe luck is with you and you'll find what you looking for.
thanks
