If it's not on your computer, check to see if you're using Apple's built-in backup software, Time Machine. With Time Machine, you can revert to previous versions of files or folders.
You might find an earlier version of the file in a previous backup. It goes without saying that it's easier to recover files if you're already using some form of backup, like File History in Windows, Time Machine for Mac — or Carbonite for both. But what if, like a lot of people, you're finding out the hard way and you didn't use backup?
Then you're going to have to get a little more resourceful. Think about what you've done with the file since you created it. Did you email it to someone else? If so, you might find it in your sent mail folder. Even though these services are not true forms of backup, some people use file hosting or sync and share services to save an extra copy of important files.
In the event of an accidental file deletion, check any file sync and share or cloud storage services where you have an account and search your folders for the document. Even if you deleted it with a file sync and share service, you might get lucky and find the file in your trash folder. These services sometimes take longer to empty the trash bin than a computer.
There are also file recovery tools you can install on your computer. There is some risk with these because they require you to download the file recovery software to your computer. In some cases, the new software could overwrite the file you're looking to recover. But if you're willing to take the chance, you might have success with file recovery software such as Recuva. A lot depends on how soon you realize the file is missing.
If the file is very important to you and you absolutely must have it back, your safest bet is to shut down your computer as soon as you realize the file is missing and take it to your data recovery service.
