How to recover deleted Word document on Windows PC?

EvanBaker  The "Previous Versions" feature in Windows is a built-in tool that allows you to recover older versions of files and folders that have been backed up or saved as part of a system restore point. It can be particularly useful for recovering files that have been accidentally deleted, modified, or corrupted.

How to recover deleted Word document from previous version:

Step 1: Go to the folder where the Word document was originally saved. If you’re unsure of the location, check common directories like "Documents" or "Desktop."

Step 2: Right-click on the folder and select "Properties." Go to the "Previous Versions" tab in the Properties window. You’ll see a list of available previous versions of the folder, sorted by date.

Step 3: Choose a version of the folder from a date when the Word document was still present. Click the "Restore" button to recover the entire folder to that state.

Using the "Previous Versions" feature is a convenient and effective way to recover lost or deleted Word documents on Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC.
