To find out how to restore a deleted document in Word, you should first search in the Recycle Bin or in the directory where the document had been stored previously. In case you cannot find it, open Microsoft Word and use the Recover Unsaved Documents feature to locate AutoRecover files. There is also the opportunity to restore your previous versions in case Windows File History or OneDrive backups have been activated. When nothing helps you to retrieve the document, utilize Notchox to find the deleted Word files on your storage device. Then, after the scanning process is finished, preview and recover your files to another location.
