By the way, this is in Windows XP 2003 Commercial version.
None of us use Auto-save.

If you have closed the file your chances of recovering anything deleted from
it are pretty much non-existant. If the file is still open *and* you have
AutoRecover turned on *and* you have not saved you may be able to recover
from the autorecovery file, but that is 'iffy'.

Content deleted from a file (of any type) is _not_ sent to the Recycle Bin.
Files deleted using Windows Explorer, etc. are held in the RB until it is
emptied. Under some circumstances even deleted files can be recovered, but
individual pieces of content deleted from a file, no.

I'm a little confused by

when the error was realized, it was cancelled

What does this mean & what "process" are you referring to?

Most of a file was accidentally deleted.
It was a very large file, so when the error was realized, it was cancelled.
Shouldn't the portion that was deleted have gone to the recycle bin?
Or by cancelling it in progress, did this stop this process?
