I am afraid that you have probably lost the file.

It is possible to purchase software that can 'undelete' a file from
drive. I have one in case of such emergency.

You probably know that a file is not actually deleted, a marker is se
at the beginning of the file on disk that indicates that the space i
usable. However as files are saved subsequently it becomes more an
more likely that the old file will be overwritten
