Although, it may seem like all hope is gone because you have to submit your document tomorrow.<\/p><p>Now, all you need to do is to follow the instructions provided in this article, so you can quickly and easily retrieve your Word file. Let&rsquo;s get started.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-happens-when-you-overwrite-a-word-file?\">What happens when you overwrite a word file?<\/h2><p>Overwrite means the system overwrites deleted data with new data. It involves storing new information on your computer storage to replace the old information. Overwritten data is regarded as being unrecoverable. <\/p><p>However, Office Word already considered it and made it possible to recover the overwritten and deleted data. The application has some handy features which, if turned on, can create backups of your files automatically.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-recover-an-accidentally-saved-over-word-document?\">How do I recover an accidentally saved over Word document?<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-use-the-undo-feature\">1. Use the Undo feature<\/h3><p>When you accidentally remove a section of your essay or change the report&rsquo;s organization, Word&rsquo;s undo option is a lifesaver. The best and simplest thing to do is to undo the process if you mistakenly saved over a Word document. <\/p><p>You can restore the Word document to an earlier version by pressing <strong>Ctrl + Z<\/strong>. There is also an <strong>Undo<\/strong> button on the top-left corner of the Word window, which you can use to revert unwanted changes.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-undo-button-in-Word-1024x688.png\" alt=\"Recover an accidentally saved over Word document by using the undo button in Word \" class=\"wp-image-112096 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-undo-button-in-Word-1024x688.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-undo-button-in-Word-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-undo-button-in-Word-768x516.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-undo-button-in-Word.png 1066w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-find-the-file-in-temporary-word-files\">2. Find the file in temporary Word files<\/h3><p>Office automatically produces some temporary files while you work on a Word file as a backup if you forget to save the document. After a predetermined time, it generates a fresh temporary file without replacing the old ones. <\/p><p>Therefore, if you notice that &ldquo;oh, I accidentally saved over a word document,&rdquo; you can locate the necessary file in the temporary files. Before overwriting the original document, you must first enable the <strong>AutoRecover<\/strong> option in the <strong>Save<\/strong> settings.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-autorecover-option-in-settings.png\" alt=\" Find the autorecover option in settings to recover an accidentally saved over Word document\" class=\"wp-image-112097 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-autorecover-option-in-settings.png 826w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-autorecover-option-in-settings-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/the-autorecover-option-in-settings-768x630.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><p>You must first locate the transient files on your computer to recover an erased Word document. You can find the necessary temporary file by browsing the relevant location.<\/p><p>Navigate to this path from your My Computer or This PC:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Word\\<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>After finding the temporary file folder, search each file to find the desired word document and recover the accidentally saved over Word document.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-recover-using-a-backup\">3. Recover using a backup<\/h3><p>In addition to temporary files, MS Word also makes a copy of your document as a backup. But by default, this function is deactivated. It needs to be enabled first. <\/p><p>When activated, a file in the .wbk file format will be created in the same folder as the original file. You can navigate to the file location, open the .wbk file, and save it as a .doc or .docx file, if you unintentionally saved over a Word document.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-restore-word-document-to-the-previous-version\">4. Restore Word Document to the Previous Version<\/h3><p>If the procedures mentioned above don&rsquo;t work, you can attempt restoring the Word file to its prior version to recover an accidentally saved over Word document.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make a new <strong>Word document<\/strong> with the same name as the previously mistakenly overwritten one. You can also find the Word document that was overwritten or saved over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right-click the Word file after making a new one or finding the older one.
