retrieve an old file erased by saving a new file with same name
 
HI,

I was edting an existing excel file, and post editing was supposed to "save
as" with a new name. However, i saved the edited file with the old name, and
in the process the old file got erased. Is there anyway to retrieve the old
file?

Only if you have a backup somewhere?

Maybe an old email attachment in your sent folder?
Maybe an IT backup if it was on a network drive?
