    If you have not closed the document since that error, try pressing Ctrl + Z perhaps a couple of times to check if that can undo the deletion.

    If that is not successful, log into OneDrive online (https://onedrive.live.com/), then try using the steps on this link to see if it is possible to recover a previous version of that file.

    I didn’t delete a document… I deleted parts of a document… so I can’t look in the recycle bin…
