My Powerpoint is missing

Hi Emir,

Thank you for using Microsoft products and making community posts.

I understands the importance of resolving this issue, Don’t worry I will be helping you with this following steps.

losing a PowerPoint presentation can be stressful! Let’s try to track it down:

1. Check Recent Documents:
   • Open PowerPoint and go to File > Open > Recent.
   • See if your missing file is listed there.
2. Search Your Computer:
   • Use the search bar (Windows Search or macOS Spotlight) to look for keywords from your file name or even "PowerPoint" if you're unsure of the name.
   • Look in your Downloads, Documents, or Desktop folders.
3. Look for Autosaved Versions:
   • PowerPoint often autosaves files. Check for an autosaved version by opening PowerPoint, navigating to File > Info > Manage Document > Recover Unsaved Presentations.
4. Check OneDrive or Cloud Storage:
   • If you use OneDrive or another cloud service, log in and check if the file is stored there. Many Microsoft 365 setups automatically save files to OneDrive.
5. Email Attachments:
   • If you ever emailed the presentation, check your Sent folder to see if it's attached.
6. Check on your OneDrive: possible the files has been sync into your OneDrive account.

• Sign in to the https://onedrive.live.com and check on the recent files
• check on the recycle bin and other folders
• try searching using the name of the file

If none of these work, let me know, and we can try some more advanced recovery steps together!
