such spreadsheet of workbook disappeared but file name remained unchanged.
If your spreadsheet or workbook file suddenly disappeared from the folder but the file name remained unchanged, it might have been moved, hidden, or corrupted. Here’s how you can try to restore it:
Check the Recycle Bin: Sometimes files are accidentally deleted but can be restored from the Recycle Bin.
Search for the File: Use the search function on your computer to look for the file by name to see if it was moved to a different location.
Check for Hidden Files: Make sure the file isn’t hidden. On Windows, you can change the folder options to show hidden files.
Use File Recovery Software: If the file was deleted and is no longer in the Recycle Bin, you might need to use file recovery software to attempt to restore it.
Check Previous Versions: If you have backups or previous versions enabled, you might be able to restore an earlier version of the file.
