Recovering Excel file saved as notepad
Hello, I wanted to know if there is any chance I can recover an excel file that was accidentally saved as a notepad. I downloaded data from the internet, turns out it was in CSV format that open...
Hmm did you overwrite the file as a notepad document?? Where do you keep the file stored?
I had it in the Documents folder but this is my office laptop, connected to the network server and all that. I don't know if this changes anything.
It originally downloaded in CSV format but as long as it looked like a regular excel I didn't pay any extra attention while saving and it automatically saves as a notepad "Unicode text" format.
- So it’s not in your onedrive then?
- Nope
