Hi NUR FARRA ADLINA BINTI ZAILAINI

Whether the deleted Word document can be recovered usually depends on where it was saved and how it was deleted. You may try the following checks:

If the file was stored in OneDrive (common for Word on Android)

• Sign in to OneDrive using the same account
• Go to Recycle bin and look for the document > If found, select Restore

Delete, purge or restore files from your OneDrive using the OneDrive mobile app - Microsoft Support

If the file was not saved or the app closed unexpectedly: You may review Microsoft desktop guidance here:

Recover your Word files and documents | Microsoft Support- Word may reopen AutoRecover files the next time the app is opened if available

If it is convenient, you might also confirm:

• Where the document was originally saved (OneDrive, phone storage, or elsewhere)
• Whether it still appears in any recycle bin or recent list

Since your account is provided by your school, you may also consider contacting your IT admin, as they may have additional recovery options available for files stored in your organization’s OneDrive or SharePoint.

I hope this information helps and if you have any further question, please feel free to ask via comment section!
