I was trying to save a file and the "prompt" said, would you like to replace
and I accidentally hit yes....am I able to recover that file to it's original
state.

Unless you have a backup, that overwitten version is gone.

May be recoverable using some expensive third-party file recovery application.

Have no experience with these so cannot advise.

Is it possible you have a backup that you don't know about.

I would suggest that you make sure you are backing up
your data to removable media. .

if you are on a network, you can restore from the last
backup. if you have no other backup, i'm afraid your are
stuck with the new file.
