Problem

I decided to open a file instead of saving it, made lots of changes saved many times, but when I closed it, I realised I couldn't find it anymore. I'm hopping the file is still here, but can't find it anywhere. Is there any way I can recover this file? PS: it seems the file should be still there so…
