Let’s Begin!
Imagine, you clocked countless hours working on an EXTREMELY important PowerPoint presentation. You exit your presentation, grab a coffee, and when you come back to your computer, you find that your PowerPoint file is missing! What could be more frustrating?!
Of course, the question that immediately pops up in your mind is whether you can recover your beloved presentation or not. If you’re an Office 365 subscriber and you have AutoSave running (that saves your changes in real-time), you should be fine because your file should be autosaving in the cloud. If you’re not an Office 365 subscriber, there are several options to try and recover your PowerPoint file. These are not guaranteed to work but well worth a shot.
If you were interrupted before you ever got the chance to save your PowerPoint file, you can simply look for it in the Microsoft Unsaved Files folder. To do this:
Another useful method for restoring a deleted or lost file is to check out any previously stored files. If you don’t have AutoRecover enabled, there’s no other way to retrieve the changes you made to your PowerPoint file. You will have to redo your work from the last save. But if everything looks good, you can then follow these steps:
While we start to file initially, the program will create a temporary file for it. You can find it on a network drive or in the temp directory of your operating system. The file that you are likely going to find in the temp section will usually have a few extra letters after the title. Here’s how to find it:
While this step is standard, it is often overlooked. Here are the steps to retrieve your deleted PowerPoint slides from the Recycle Bin:
If you empty the Recycle Bin or just delete PowerPoint files with “Shift+Delete” keys, it is hard to restore your PPT file manually. But now, you get an easy solution by installing a powerful PowerPoint recovery tool—Recoverit data recovery software. It is a leading recovery tool which can recover lost data caused by any reasons from PC, laptop, or removable devices.
Here's a quick video of how it works:
The Recoverit software allows you to process documents recovery, pictures recovery, audio & video files recovery, emails recovery, and other files recovery including your ZIP and RAR files. It is highly reliable and trustworthy as it does not hamper the quality of the file while recovering it back.
Q1: Can I recover a PowerPoint file that was never saved?
Yes, you can. Use the Recover Unsaved Presentations method by navigating to the Unsaved Files folder in PowerPoint.
Q2: What if I can’t find my file in the Recycle Bin?
If the Recycle Bin doesn't have your file, try using a PowerPoint recovery tool like Recoverit.
Q3: How does PowerPoint AutoRecover work?
PowerPoint AutoRecover saves temporary versions of your file at set intervals. You can adjust these intervals in the Save options.
Q4: Is there any way to prevent losing PowerPoint files in the future?
Always enable AutoRecover and save your work frequently. Consider using cloud storage for real-time backups.
Q5: Can temporary files help in recovering my PowerPoint slides?
Yes, temporary files can sometimes help recover lost work. Look for them in the temp directory of your operating system.
