The file may have been deleted, moved, or saved to a different location.
- Was it saved in OneDrive, “Documents,” “Desktop,” or an external drive?
- Have you checked the Windows “Recycle Bin” and the OneDrive Web recycle bin at https://onedrive.live.com?
- In Excel, does the file appear under “File” > “Open” > “Recent”? If yes, what happens when you select it?
