Can someone help? I was creating a new document in gedit but as I clicked on File > Save As, the window closed. Is it possible to retrieve the content? Thanks

Not sure if the file is still on your harddrive, you can

1) locate by filename, do

sudo updatedb
locate FILENAME (or part of a filename)

2) locate by content of file, do

grep -R STRING FOLDER

where STRING is the string you are looking for and FOLDER is the folder where you are searching. Try some folders in your personal directory ~/.

Can you help with this problem?
