The location: Users/'Jama'/Library/Containers//Data/Documents.ĭefinitely try searching if you can't find it. I looked at the location of the file where it saved after it disappeared (initially it was on my desktop) - it is very close to what was posted above. Just to be safe I copied it to somewhere else. try to enter more unique terms you used in the file you lost so that fewer options come up as a result of the search function.Īs a result I was able to find the document. Put in as a few words that were in the document that you lost.

Someone else may be accessing the same file or you have it opened.
