Recover a not saved autorecoverd pbix file

Hi all,

I just closed an auto-recovery pbix file from a project. I closed the file without saving because I thought I saved the file myself. Unfortuantely this wat not the case...

I think I just lost a day of work...
Is there anyway to recover my not saved auto recovery file? 

 

Thank you in advance!!

On my device they're saved here: C:\Users\[username]\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\AutoRecovery

You can find where it is on any device by going to the 'Save and Recover' options page - see screenshot.
