Problem with a file lost forever

[Monica92]

Good evening. I am facing a problem... I did something silly and I have apparently lost one of the unconverted files from a Zoom session forever. Let me first explain: I had a session that hadn't been converted to audio and video yet, and there were two files named "double_click_to_convert_01 and 02". No matter how many times I clicked on them, it was impossible to convert them, so I decided to turn to Google for help. I found a page that said if I created a 30-second video, opened the folder where this session was being recorded, copied the files that couldn't be converted, and THEN deleted the ones that had been created, I would be able to get my videos to convert... Well, I deleted what I shouldn’t have, one of the files I had copied. When I desperately went to the trash, I found it, but when I restored it, it didn’t appear in the folder. Most likely, it didn't show up there because there was another file with the same name... I don't know what to do. I am desperate. I only have one of the original "double_click_to_convert_01" files left; the other one, I have no idea where it is on my laptop, and I’m going crazy because I need it for my thesis – it’s part of an interview. Please, tell me if there’s any way to recover it with the only file I have left, I’m begging you. Thank you.
