    Dear Gustavo Esquivel,

    Greetings! Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    If you have accidentally deleted a PowerPoint presentation and want to recover it, you may try the following methods:

    1.Where was the presentation stored? On your computer local drive or OneDrive?

    a. If you saved it on computer, check the Recycle Bin, deleted files on Windows are often sent to the Recycle Bin. You may open the Recycle Bin on your computer's desktop and search for the deleted PowerPoint presentation. If you find it, right-click on the file and select "Restore" to recover it to its original location.

    b. If you saved it in OneDrive, you may go to OneDrive Online Recycle bin and look for the file. You may also check the second-stage Recycle bin. In addition, you may also use Restore OneDrive feature, find an activity related to the presentation and undo the action. For reference: Restore your OneDrive - Microsoft Support

    2.Look for Temporary Files: PowerPoint often creates temporary copies of your files while you're working on them.

    • Open the File Explorer on your computer.
    • In the address bar, type "%temp%" (without quotes) and press Enter.
    • Look for files with names starting with "ppt" or "pptx" and ending with ".tmp".
    • Check if any of these files correspond to the presentation you deleted. If so, you may copy and save it to a different location, then change the file extension from ".tmp" to ".ppt" or ".pptx".

    3.If you have enabled the "File History" or "Previous Versions" feature on your computer, you may be able to recover an older version of the PowerPoint presentation. Right-click on the folder where the presentation was located, select "Restore previous versions," and look for a version that predates the deletion. If available, restore that version to recover your presentation.

    If you still cannot recover the presentation, we understand how frustrating this situation can be and feel very sorry about it.
