If your manager sent the file to you via a Private Chat, it will have been stored in their OneDrive (possibly in the Microsoft Teams Chat files folder). This is the version you will of edited in the Teams editing experience.

If the link to the file still appears in the chat, however you get the "Sorry, this file has been deleted or moved." message, your manger has moved or deleted the file since you edited it. You could ask them to check their OneDrive recycle bin, It will show-up there if it has been deleted. Alternatively, ask them to use the "Restore your OneDrive" option (under the cog, top right), this will show all file changes in the OneDrive from yesterday, to see where the file was moved too.
